==Early life==
Joan Sebastian was born in the rural town of [[Juliantla]] in [[Guerrero]]. He began composing at the age of seven.<ref name="ascap">{{cite web|last1=Pyror|first1=Tom|title=Joan Sebastian: The People's Poet|url=http://www.ascap.com/playback/2004/fall/sebastian.aspx|website=[[ASCAP]]|access-date=14 July 2015|date=30 April 2004}}</ref> His mother enrolled him in a school near [[Guanajuato]] when he was eight years old, and returned to his hometown three years later.<ref name="allmusic"/>

At age fourteen, his father sent him away to a monastery in [[Morelos]] where he was under the care of Father David Salgado. Due to the clergyman's influence on Sebastian, he considered becoming a priest. He enrolled in the Seminario Conciliar de San José in [[Cuernavaca, Morelos]], but realized that he wanted to pursue a music career, and decided to leave the seminary to dedicate himself to music.<ref name="allmusic">{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/joan-sebast%C3%ADan-mn0000784617/biography|title=Joan Sebastían Biography|publisher=[[Allmusic]].

==Career==
Before embarking on a singing career, Sebastian was an administrative assistant at a vacation resort in [[Oaxtepec, Morelos]], where he would sing through the intercom. In 1968, Sebastian met Mexican actress [[Angelica Maria]]. They stayed together and she asked him to sing some songs for her.<ref name="ascap"/> She suggested to Sebastian that he record the songs and give them to music producer Eduardo Magallanes, though Sebastian never managed to contact him.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.laopinion.com/joan-sebastian-y-su-camino-al-exito|title=Joan Sebastian y su camino al éxito|work=La Opinión|date=13 July 2015|access-date=14 July 2015|language=es|archive-date=19 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150719014244/http://www.laopinion.com/joan-sebastian-y-su-camino-al-exito|url-status=dead}}</ref> He later moved to [[Mexico City]] and began asking Discos Capitals Records to listen to his music and produce it.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.besthotelsinmcallen.com/state-farm-arena-welcomes-los-tigres-del-norte-and-joan-sebastian/|title=State Farm Arena Welcomes Los Tigres del Norte and Joan Sebastian|publisher=Best Hotels in McAllen|date=21 August 2014|access-date=14 July 2015|archive-date=15 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150715042523/http://www.besthotelsinmcallen.com/state-farm-arena-welcomes-los-tigres-del-norte-and-joan-sebastian/|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 1974, he recorded his first album, ''Pedro Parrandas'', and received positive feedback from the public.<ref name="ascap"/>

In 1977, Sebastian decided to stop using his legal name, Jose Manuel Figueroa and took on his artistic name, Joan Sebastian, partly in tribute to San Sebastian, where he previously worked.<ref name="allmusic"/>   That same year, he signed a record deal with the label [[Musart]]. Later on he would make his known hit "Juliantla" and the famous duet "Maracas" with Alberto Vazquéz.
In 2000, he released ''[[Secreto de Amor (album)|Secreto de Amor]]'' which was certified 4× platinum in the Latin field in the [[United States]] by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA).<ref name="riaa">{{Certification Cite|region=United States|artist="Sebastian, Joan"|Spanish=yes|access-date=14 July 2015}}</ref> The album and title track won the [[Premio Lo Nuestro 2001|Lo Nuestro Awards]] for [[Lo Nuestro Award for Regional Mexican Album of the Year|Regional Mexican Album of the Year]] and [[Lo Nuestro Award for Regional Mexican Song of the Year|Regional Mexican Song of the Year]]; he also received the Excellence Award for his musical contributions.<ref>{{cite news|title=Arrasa Son by Four con premios Lo Nuestro|url=http://archivo.eluniversal.com.mx/espectaculos/16475.html|access-date=14 July 2015|work=[[El Universal (Mexico City)|El Universal]]|date=10 February 2001|language=es}}</ref>

==Illness and death==
Sebastian was first diagnosed with [[bone cancer]] in 1999. He underwent cancer treatment and survived; however, he announced that the cancer had returned in 2007. Undergoing cancer treatment once again, he later announced he was in remission. On July 26, 2012, during one of his concerts, he announced that the cancer had returned for the third time. In 2014, he revealed that he was battling cancer for the fourth time during his performances in [[Zacatecas]].{{citation needed|date= November 2022}}
