ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Sean. I’m a Canadian composer who writes music that helps picture do its job, whether that’s to hit harder, feel deeper, or just not fall flat on its face.

You’ve probably heard my work without knowing it: MasterChef (the Emmy award winning cooking competition show with the shouty British guy), Gary & His Demons (animated comedic chaos on Amazon Prime), documentary series NOVA on PBS, video game series MLB The Show, the theme music to Fearless with Tim Ferriss, and more ads than I care to count — Budweiser Super Bowl ads (yes, the ones with the horses), Toyota, Amazon, VISA, and McDonald’s. If it moves and sells something, I’ve probably written music for it.

I cut my teeth writing on tight deadlines, shifting briefs, often with the kind of client feedback that belongs in a psychology textbook. Somewhere along the way I figured out how to keep the music sharp, the delivery sharper, and the stress confined to my internal monologue, where it thrives.

My sound? Cinematic when it needs to be, filthy when it should be, and never phoned in. I like bending genres, sneaking in left turns, and writing music that earns its screen time. Either way, it’s always hand crafted to serve the story.

That’s the job. And I still love doing it.
