About

Starting at a very young age of 13 messing with tape recorder edits of hip hop and electro and going to the skating rink, Sean knew he wanted to learn how to mix. His older brother turned me on to a club called aahz in orlando when he was in high school.
Listening to Kimball Collins & Dave Cannalte further cemented his love for the story telling nature of mixing electronic dance music. He was exposed to some great music in the late 80's - early 90's orlando scene from the likes of Sasha & John Digweed, Chemical Brothers (back then Dust Brothers), Dave Seaman, Dub Tribe, Young American Primitive. The list goes on.

In 96' moved back to his birth town of Miami and started a residency at the NFA (No Fucking Around) parties in South Beach. Playing all sorts of sounds but mostly electro breaks, trip hop.

Soon after was recruited by Steve Lau of Kinetic records to work with the label. Was instrumental in helping develop a music scene at Dade Sokoloff's Shadow Lounge by introducing Dave Ralph from UK and Paul Oakenfold.

Sean played opening dj spots on his Transport 1 Tour in NYC.
in 1997 Sean went to UK to stay for a month and work on tracks with Dave Ralph.

Soon after in late 1999 Sean ended up moving to London for a year to live with Rui Da Silva and work with Home Nightclub in 2000-01.
In that time he was exposed to even a more defined sound via Dave Beer's Back to Basics in Leads, to the End in London, Fabric. While in the UK he managed to travel to Ibiza, Ireland, Portugal, Amsterdam while being a sponge to such great culture inside and out of dance clubs.

Now is 2013 his resume has expanded. He plays with John Digweed at the annual creations bedrock records gathering every wmc at the Vagabond Nightclub. And is currently in his second collaboration with The New World Symphony's Pulse Event.
