Shortly thereafter, thecouple got marriedand announced thatVon D was pregnantwith Seyer’s child.
Hey, when you know, youknow!
So just who is this brooding, tattooed mystery man who seemed to come out of nowhere?
Read on to learn all about the father of Kat Von D’s child, Leafar Seyer.
As a child, he and his parents left Mexico, and migrated north into San Diego.
Additionally, Seyer displayed some violent tendencies early on, which concerned his mother.
So even though they were poor, she managed to get him into therapy, free of charge.
“I spent like… “I’m the poet behind Prayers.
Seyer puts everything that he has into his music, which amplifies his message to the world.
“This music is a testament to the life I’m living,” he continued.
Clearly this project showcases the emotions, reactions, and passions that Seyer has experienced in his life.
“We’re not worried if people will get it,” he shared in an interview withKO63 Music.
That explains why their sound is so unique, and unlike anything else out there.
“Yet those hands molded and sculpted me into the man I have become.”
It’s always good to find that silver lining, and milk the hell out of it.
So Seyer poured everything into his aesthetic, eventually coining the term “Cholo Goth” to describe it.
I won the fight because today we have Cholo Goth!”
And that’s somethingno onecan take away from him.
“But eventually I fell in love with it when the camaraderie and brotherhood started developing.”
Plus, his parents and siblings could finally move about freely in their neighborhood.
Seyer says he is no longer active in the gang, but he still reps it.
“I am from Sherman and I will be for life,” he added.
But rather than get into more trouble during his sentence, he used that time to write a book.
After a long period of reflection, Seyer figured out what was gnawing at him.
“I realized that it was because of my father’s death,” he continued.
Seyer subsequentlyrelocatedto Los Angeles after his release, according toKO63 Music.
“I learned a lot from it.”
“The church pushed me away from the church.”
Clearly it just wasn’t the right fit.
Instead, Seyer finds that he relates more to adversarial forces.
That’s pretty evident in hislyrics, too.
“Those aren’t actors.
Clearly authenticity isveryimportant to him.
It’s also important to Seyer that his fans get to see exactly where his inspiration comes from.
“I’m not out on some movie set hiring actors.
These people and places are a part of my daily life.”
“It kept knocking during sleep, during waking hours, during time of contemplation of self.”
He wouldn’t be at peace if he kept ignoring that call!
“It’s refreshing to be able to showcase something that was my first love,” he continued.
“I was doing art before I was doing music.”
Congrats on the show, Leafar!
They’re 100 percent DIY.
So what does the musical process look like for them?
“[David] sees shapes and colors when he’s creating these soundscapes,” he continued.
That explains why their music is so passionate.
He’s a perfect product of his upbringing, for sure.
Plus, he credits another band with helping him cope when he was growing up.
“Pet Shop Boys struck me on a musical level,” he recalled in an interview withVice.
“Their music raised me and helped me escape reality.
It was the soundtrack to my youth before I joined a gang.”
Obviously this music means a lot to him, even all these years later.
So does he regret any of them?
“No, never!
That’s a thing about me I never regret anything,” he proclaimed in an interview withTTTISM.
“I stand by my choices, and my mistakes.
I’m pretty covered in tattoos now.”
That’s a lot of time under the needle!
He really does stand by every single tattoo on his body, even the more controversial ones.
If you are not going deep into their meanings you could be misunderstood.”
Interestingly enough, that’s not something Seyer ever imagined for himself.
“I’ve never been married before,” he confessed in an interview withVice.
“I stayed away from it all my life.
But she f***ing broke all the walls down.”
That’s not entirely surprising Kat Von Dis a legend!
Seyer didn’t just discover his feelings for her when they met for the first time, either.
Rather, he’d been nurturing a crush on Von D for well over a decade.
“I compare it to staring at the sun; it’s an impossible task.
And to me, she’s the sun.”
Homeboy islegittwitterpated, y’all.
Seyer looks to Von D as his muse, and probably will for the rest of his life.
As any new dad would, Seyer has high hopes that his son will develop into a good person.
“I look forward to introducing our son Leafar to Mother Nature, music and reading.”
That sounds like a pretty idyllic childhood.
Good luck, Leafar Sr.!
As he tells it, she and his friends seriously betrayed him back in 2010.
Um, yikes you guys.
But that doesn’t seem to change the way Seyer feels about her, or views the incident.
