January 21, 1972) is an American composer and musician best known for his soundtracks for various video games from Sierra Entertainment.
Biography
From 1979 to 1986, Seibert performed guitar and vocals for a Christian band called Omega Sunrise. He recorded two albums with the group in 1983 and 1985, the second of which saw moderate success in various US markets. After a final concert in Fresno, California in 1986, the group broke up due to the demands of constant touring.
Siebert worked for Sierra from 1987 to 2001. He worked as a musician on his earliest projects, but after only a few years, he was promoted to the company's music director. In 1992, he was promoted again to producer, which meant he was involved in all aspects of game production, not just the music.
He also helped lead worship services at his church, the Fresno Vineyard, from 1987 to 1991 with his wife Debbie.
Seibert now works for Gentle Revolution Software in Baltimore, Maryland, a company that produces games for the PlayStation 2 and for PC.
