Let me make your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, corporate party, or event something you'll never forget! I want to work with you to help you create an evening that has the exact vibe that you've been dreaming of!
I'm a 3-time Na Hoku (Hawai’i state-wide Grammy) award-winning recording artist and performer based out of Honolulu, Hawai’i. Beyond my full band studio recordings, I regularly perform as a one-man looping experience, layering all the elements of a song (drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, vocals) in a single performance (I am also available to play purely acoustic at your event as well). Blending together a hooky pop-songwriting aesthetic with the raw emotion of my guitar, I traverse and synthesize the passion of rock and blues with the sultry sounds of r&b, jazz, and soul. Beyond event gigs, I have 3-5 residencies every week at Honolulu hotels and venues with my solo act (performing over 200 times every year).
Let's make your dream event a reality. I look forward to working with you!

FAQs
What is Sean's set like?
Sean's solo performance features a completely live (zero pre-recorded material) looping performance of vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, and sampled drums. He offers a fuller sounding experience than a single performer with just an acoustic guitar. Within one song, you will hear singing, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, keyboard, bass guitar, and drums (and Sean's hourly rate is much more affordable than a comparable trio, quartet, or quintet). He is also available to play purely acoustic as well. Sean can play a selection of covers and originals.
