Evan Seinfeld’s Transformation: From Los Angeles to Tulum
A New Chapter in Tulum
During a recent appearance on Dean Delray’s “Let There Be Talk” podcast, Evan Seinfeld, the founding member and frontman of the hardcore/metal band BIOHAZARD, shared insights into his life-changing decision to move to Tulum, Mexico. After spending years in Los Angeles, Seinfeld described this shift as a “complete life transformation.” In 2021, he found himself disconnected from BIOHAZARD for a decade and grappling with personal and professional challenges.
Struggles in Los Angeles
Seinfeld reflected on his struggles during his last years in Los Angeles, where he ran a premium social network that once competed with OnlyFans. However, as OnlyFans gained popularity, his business suffered significantly. Coupled with the stress of his third divorce and debilitating anxiety attacks, he found himself in a dark place. Seinfeld recounted, “I was having trouble sleeping… it was a mindfuck.” It was a difficult period that prompted him to reevaluate his life.
A Son’s Guidance
His turning point came thanks to a heartfelt conversation with his son, who at 30, serves as BIOHAZARD’s road manager and social media manager. Concerned about his father’s demeanor, he urged Seinfeld to consider relocating to Tulum, where he always seemed happier. This advice resonated with Seinfeld, leading him to sell his company and embark on a new journey. He described moving to Tulum with just a laptop, a bass guitar, and a small bag of clothes, ready to reinvent himself.
Finding Purpose and Connection
In Tulum, Seinfeld sought deeper meaning in life. Drawing from his experiences in Alcoholics Anonymous, he initiated a men’s circle called Mantorship, focusing on open and honest communication among men. He emphasized the importance of tapping into one’s truth, purpose, and passion through his newly written guide for men, aimed at building confidence and leading fulfilling lives.
Spiritual Growth and Mindfulness
Seinfeld acknowledged his previous life in Los Angeles was driven by ego. He described his transformation, stating, “I had to shed my skin.” Embracing spirituality and mindfulness, he began practicing yoga, meditation, journaling, and helping others. He expressed a desire to distance himself from the toxic discussions prevalent in the U.S., emphasizing that societal divisions are counterproductive to unity.
Music and Message
These themes of division and unity resonate through BIOHAZARD’s new album, “Divided We Fall,” released on October 17. The album reflects Seinfeld’s insights about focusing on our shared humanity rather than differences. The recording sessions took place at Shorefire Recording Studios and The Hydeaway, showcasing a blend of talent with engineering by Joseph DeMaio and production assistance from Phil Caivano.
Upcoming Collaborations
BIOHAZARD is set to tour North America this fall, partnering with the American hip-hop group ONYX, promising an exciting combination of genres and fan engagement.
Conclusion
Evan Seinfeld’s journey from a tumultuous life in Los Angeles to a more fulfilling existence in Tulum serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of self-reflection and the pursuit of happiness. His commitment to personal growth, meaningful connections, and a new musical direction encapsulates the transformative power of change.
