seâns artistry, presence and voice have been described as authentic, honest, passionate, sincere, truth.
seân was first placed on the theatrical stage, rather than remaining on stage after his part, he left a lasting impression by running into the audience to his family. It was during this period thatseân first saw his picture in the newspaper.
He was placed in numerous theatrical productions and in an aunt’s church choir. “I was always seeking to be in the background, chorus, or ensemble but it seems that others saw something in me that the forced me to be more prominent.” seân was cast as angel, henchman, and serpent. A teacher made him a featured character. seân discovered that he had unknowingly transformed into the character as he went home with classmates who talked to each other about his character as though it wasn’t him.
seân was cast as the lead in The Life You Save May Be Your Own. “I didn’t want to be the lead. But no matter how hard I tried, they wouldn’t let me out. But that was the part that did it. I came to love the character. I worked so hard at memorizing my lines that I found that I actually could think separate thoughts as I said the lines. Having everything go wrong that could go wrong. Although they had cue cards (which had never occurred to me), everyone else forgot lines. But through it all, I said my lines and acted. I felt validated by the response and acclaim that we received.”
Entertaining lead seân to modeling. “Walking runway- and not having a character or song to hide within or behind- helped me to overcome stage fright.” Freelance photographers sought seân to pose for there portfolios. Directors sought seân for independent projects.
seân has been invited to open for such performers as Grammy nominated (Blue Note) Ledisi, award winning Crystal Waters, and (Motown) Donnie. Through artistry, seân has collaborated with some of the who's who the entertainment community – Danny Glover, (Entourage) Adrian Grenier, Brandon Owens (Lauryn Hill), (Six Feet Under) Matthew St. Patrick, Ramsey Jones (Wu Tang Clan), Little Jackie (Imani Coppola), and comedian Hazel Goodman.
His journey led him to becoming a soloist, and on to being the front man for music ensembles the other side, urban spirit & urban spiRitual. The ultimate honor came in having the audience of New York’s first black Mayor, David Dinkins. “I was so honored when he came up to me smiling, looked me in my eyes, and shook my hand.”
seân expanded his artistry to writing, directing and producing. His debut, the Jacob A. Weiser Playwriting Award-winning play “the making of the Black Man” was featured at the (largest multicultural arts festival in America) 2001 International Fringe Festival.
