Sebastian Zar, an attorney whose clients included Post Malone, died suddenly on Sunday (Oct. 12). He was 36.
The New York-based Zar worked for Theo Sedlmayr & Associates. “We’re received an outpouring of messages from people in our industry sharing their thoughts about Sebastian,” Sedlmayr told Billboard. I like to believe that’s because he was a kindred spirit to many, passionate about supporting creators of music in all its forms. He’ll be deeply missed by everyone whose lives were touched by his positive energy.”

In 2018, Billboard highlighted Zar, who grew up in Great Neck, N.Y., as a “rising star” — one of five industry executives still in their 20s but already making an impact. At the time, Billboard wrote: “While at Syracuse University School of Law, Zar began managing artists. At 26, he started his own law firm. He has since landed at Sedlmayr, where his clients include Post Malone and Pusha T.” Zar told Billboard of his desire to meet whatever his clients needed: “In the streaming age, a lot of these young artists don’t want a label deal,” says Zar. “I’m willing to put on as many hats as necessary to get them to where they want to be.”
Range Media Partners’ Matt Range, who had known Zar for nearly 20 years, says the late attorney made an instant impression. “Sebastian’s hustle, commitment and constant desire to find the next great artist was apparent from the day I hired him as an intern 17 years ago and that fire was never extinguished,” he tells Billboard in a statement. “I loved him for his confidence and for staying present in my life and the lives of everyone he cared about. He never let too much time pass without catching up. I’m gutted to lose him as a friend and little brother, and we are all worse off in the music industry without him advocating on behalf of the artists he loved so much.” Zar worked with Range as outside counsel.
Like Graham, Universal Music Publishing Group chairman and CEO Jody Gerson had known Zar for years, first becoming aware of him through her son. “My son Julian followed Sebastian’s music blog, Watch My Ego, when he was in high school. He reached out to Sebastian, and the two quickly bonded over their shared love of music and discovering new artists,” Gerson tells Billboard. “Later, Sebastian told Julian he was applying to law school and hoped to practice entertainment law. He asked if I might write him a letter of recommendation, and after getting to know him better, I was more than happy to do it. I was thrilled when he called to say he’d been accepted — and even more thrilled years later when Theo Sedlmayr took a chance on him and brought him into the firm. Sebastian was a truly special person, and he has left us far too soon.
“I am deeply saddened by his passing and send my heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones,” Gerson continues. “His parents should be so proud. Sebastian was a beautiful and kind person — a wonderful attorney, and at his core, a genuine music fan. We will miss him dearly.”
Zar is survived by his siblings, James Zar and Kimberly Bloorian.
