Seaux Chill
Nabil Ince, stage name Seaux Chill or “Chill”, is a Black musician, artist, and educator. Whether he is creating, collaborating, learning, teaching, or performing his main priority is to be authentic in his music. Nabil’s art fuses together pillars of Black music to create a sound that reflects the urgency of today’s familiar, yet unique, social problems. His formal training began with piano lessons at 6 years old. At the age of eleven he began playing for church services at his father’s church and at fourteen, he began writing and producing his own jazz and hip-hop records to find his own “sound” in the wake of the dearth of Black jazz musicians in his high school. Nabil continued his piano education in college from 2014 - 2018, focusing on a bachelor’s degree in jazz music. During the summer of 2014 & 2015 he participated in a summer internship with the music department at New City Fellowship in Chattanooga, TN. It was here Nabil learned the importance and logistics of what it takes to run a cross cultural music ministry. He would take these skills with him to help run music ed NPOs for children as well as run his own music ministry as recently as July 2021. Currently Nabil spends his time traveling, writing place-based music in various cities across the nation and world. He is also involved with Common Hymnal, helping write and produce songs that mainly speak to the current underground and outcasts of the church.
