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 on a screen, I’ve probably written music for it.

I started out the way a lot of kids do: guitar in hand, drumsticks in the back pocket, convinced the goal was a stage, a van, and a lifetime of “the grind.”

Then I actually did it. Turns out sleeping in the back of a Chevrolet Tahoe between gigs is only romantic if you’ve never done it.

Eventually I ended up in Toronto and that’s where I found the world that is music for picture. Tight deadlines. Briefs that change mid-sentence. Feedback that somehow manages to be both vague and urgent. It’s not always glamorous. It’s professional.

My sound depends on the job. Cinematic when it needs weight. Textural when it needs mood. Dirty when it needs attitude. Quiet when the scene is already doing the heavy lifting. Whatever the style, the goal is the same: music that serves the story and holds up under pressure.
