Probably from around 4 years old, Seth was always interested in the sounds he heard. Whether it was music or the cars passing quickly outside his quiet, upstate New York home. As the youngest of six boys, there were little resources to afford him much opportunity for any sort of lessons. His brothers, all creative in their own ways, influenced Seth with their own creativity. From sketching to singing, he practiced all the time with crayons and later colored pencils and paint. Sometimes his mother would sing and Seth would quickly pick up the melodies and mumble along.

At thirteen, Seth picked up his first acoustic guitar and started teaching himself how to play. He would first concentrate on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall among the other late 70's rock bands and later begin experimenting with classical music stylings such as Beethoven and Mozart. Soon after, he began writing his own music. At 15, Seth's first completed song was a ballad entitled So Many Times which he recorded on an old school analog 8 track. Since money was always an issue and as difficult as times were, he never lost sight of his gift of making music.

At 16, Seth landed his first gig in New York's Greenwich Village performing as a solo acoustic artist as so many others like Bob Dylan did before him. After a year or two, he met up with an old elementary schoolmate, also into writing. Their collaborations led to some great music but he then moved, so Seth continued performing his solo acoustic shows quite successfully.

Throughout his university days in Miami, Seth continued performing solo on South Beach's outdoor veranda clubs usually on nights and weekends. After graduation, he moved back to New York where he met up with three guys looking to form a cover band. They worked their butts off and formed Route Nine. Touring for three years in the Northeast proved exhaustive and Seth found himself unfulfilled as his dream of writing and performing his own original music was not met. Seth respectfully removed himself from Route Nine and about a year later met up with Chris and JJ and formed Mankind together with Frank.

As lead singer, frontman, writer and lyricist, Mankind created original "epics" in their terrific music. The band played out often but later, Seth felt his musical directions were shifting and the other members in general also had different musical goals. Seth was acting as business manager, booking agent, writer, graphic designer, etc. and wearing all these "hats" also took its toll.

Over the past two and a half decades, Seth Regan has found success in many forms. His unique brand of alt/prog guitar based rock has reached the ears of many international audiences.
