Sebastian "Sibbi" Hafner

Sebastian Hafner, born in 1982 in Göppingen, is a founding member, guitarist and singer of the English-language rock band »ITCHY« (formerly Itchy Poopzkid) from Eislingen.

Immediately after leaving school, he and his bandmates devoted themselves exclusively to his greatest passion, music and his band. In the 19 years of the band’s history, he has now played almost 1000 concerts with ITCHY across Europe, had countless videos and even his own TV show on the music channel MTV, written the theme song for a TV and cinema advertisement for the car brand Suzuki, released eight studio albums, all of which made it into the German album charts, with the album »Six« reaching number 5. The current album »Ja als ob«, which was released at the beginning of the year, is the band’s first completely German-language album. The band also published a book called »How To Survive As A Rock Band« in 2015.

Since 2011, Sebastian and his bandmates have been running their own music publishing edition, as well as the record label »Findaway Records«, on which four of ITCHY’s last five albums have been released. He also writes songs for other artists, gives band coaching sessions and DJs together with ITCHY colleague Panzer.

For Sebastian Hafner, the fact that he has been able to make a living from music for over 15 years is the daily fulfillment of his life’s dream, even in times of Corona.
