In 2002 I was asked by a producer for CBC radio (the largest National radio station in Canada) to create a 2 minute sound piece, depicting what the events of September 11th sounded like to me. After sketching out some ideas for the piece, I collected my sounds (colors), grabbed my computer mouse (paint brush) and began editing/arranging the sounds on the screen (canvas). The end result was a piece called 'WAVE OF EVENTS', generated off one particular sketch that outlined the pulse of the event from beginning to end to future. The heartbeat and breathing are meant to become the emotional guide for the listener, while the ticking in the background is the second hand of a clock, that i feel is like a metronome to our lives...believing that our lives are like musical pieces. I could write more but i would prefer that you the listener interpret it for yourself. I hope you enjoy this piece. To quote my friend Aaron Paysley.."I never knew you could say so much, without saying anything at all."

Adding to his vast array of credits, Sean has authored and published his first children’s book entitled ‘A Name Just For You’.  This heartfelt poem marks him and his wife’s journey to find the perfect name for their unborn son.  In 2014 the gifted lyricist caught the attention of the historic Southern Poverty Law Centre. The esteemed civil rights organization is using Sean’s poems for their alternative-learning curriculum for teachers across the United States.

The recipient of more than 20 awards, in 2012 Sean was presented with the Medal of Appreciation from the United Nations Association of Canada for his work as a motivational speaker.

After spending years as a motivational speaker, Sean branched out and began presenting to corporations. His talk “Dismantling Racial Bias In The Workplace,” focuses on how to address anti-Black racism in the workplace and offers collaborative solutions on how to dismantle racial bias. Sean’s unique and multi-faceted approach to these sensitive topics is delivered in a conversational and relatable way that encourages connections for inclusion.
