An artist from the mists of North Devon, away from any sign of freedom and"non-conformity". Sean started getting interested in music when he heard the album"Help" at the age of 8. He knew he wanted to be the next John Lennon. From that age he picked up a cheap nylon acoustic which was bought for him on his 8th Birthday. he remembers hitting that first very out of tune and blunt"D" chord, he thought he was the next Eric Clapton! As he grew older he became more aware of music from that time period. Bands like Pink Floyd, which at first he hated them, he was fascinated by their use of Effects. He joined various bands but never felt at home. Till one summers day he heard the song"Like A Rolling Stone" By Bob Dylan and then it was like something hit him. It was like he knew how to solve his problems with just one thing, an acoustic guitar and vocals. That song taught him so much with doing so little. He then knew he wanted to be a solo artist. But still have the sound of his favorites like The Beatles, Floyd and The Kinks. In a dark winter at the age of 15 he went through a dark stage of his life for a while and his time there helped him realize helplessness that every human being has. It helped him a lot with his lyrics.
