Before he had a big successful music career Jose Manuel Figueroa (Joan Sebastian's legal name) passed most of his childhood from place to place. At age eight he was sent away by his parents to Guanajuato for school. When he was eleven he return to Juliantla, his native town, this return inspired him to begin formally composing. But he was sent off again to a monastery in Morelos where he was under the care of father David Salgado. Due to the influence Father Salgado had on Sebastian he took the decision of becoming a priest. So at age 14 he enrolled in the Seminario Conciliar de San Jose(located in Cuernavaca, Morelos). But he soon realized that music was his true calling so when he was 17 years old he abandoned the seminary to dedicate himself completely to the music business.
Meanwhile he made a living as an administrative assistant in a vacationing resort in Oaxtepec, Morelos, where he would sing through the intercom. It was in that resort that Sebastian found the incentive he needed to pursue his singing dream more aggressively. The year was 1968 when Joan Sebastian encountered Angélica María (a famous Mexican actress) who was looking for a place to stay. While she waited she asked him if he sang and the following day he sang for her six songs. Angélica María suggested to Sebastian that he record the songs and gave him the telephone number of Eduardo Magallanes, a music producer. Without hesitating Sebastian moved to Mexico City and began knocking on doors until Chucho Rincon from Discos Capitals agreed to listen to him and thus began Sebastian's artistic career. He recorded his first disc and the positive results came fast when in Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, the song "Descartada" sold 12 thousand copies. previous. His most recent production up to date is "Secreto de Amor" which was released in 2000 and sold over 1 million copies.

He was awarded "The Silver Pen Award" in 2000, and was named el jefe

Ya no puede continuar
Que esta vez te marchas
Y que no has de regresar.
Me dices que lo nuestro
Por mi culpa se acabo
Bien eso dices tú ahora
Hay un tren a las cinco
Un camión a las seis
Un vuelo a las siete
Escoge.
Hay un tren a las cinco
Un camión a las seis
Tus reservaciones listas
Eh eh eh.
Más por si al caso un día
Quisieras tu volver, compré
Viaje redondo, más debes
De saber si vuelves a esta
Casa sólo vas a encontrar
Cien cajas de pañuelos
Por si te da por llorar.
Y hay un tren a las cinco
Un camión a las seis
Un vuelo a las siete
Escoge eh eh eh.
Hay un tren a las cinco
Un vuelo a las seis
Tus reservaciones listas
Eh eh eh.

Siempre me he preguntado el porque los primeros discos de Joan Sebastian tenían una marcada influencia de la música country. Sabemos que en el norte de la republica hay cierta fusión de corriente en especial en las fronteras pero es raro que Joan siendo de un estado del sur de la república como lo es Guerrero y Morelos fue donde creció, pero de cualquier forma el talento y el genio para mezclar esas corrientes folkloricas es reconocido sin un duda un enorme cantautor que el pueblo de méxico siempre tendrá como uno de sus consentidos.

Joan Sebastian lo explicó en alguna ocasión...
Ya que en Juliantla, Gro., en el lugar donde vivía Joan, su casa estaba ubicada en lo alto dela montaña y solo se escuchaba en el radio una estación de música Country, y fue su principal temprana influencia.
