I was always around music, growing up. My parents played it during car trips, and we had all kinds of drums and guitars and other instruments in our basement. At an early age, my brothers and I decided we wanted to develop careers in the music business. I'm the only deaf one in the family, and also the only one who, as an adult, actively pursued music as a career."Sean has been featured on CNN, Parade Magazine, Vibe Magazine, Fox News, ABC News, BBC, and many more.Sean is currently on tour, performing and giving motivational speeches.".
