“Sean Bellers-Smith” (born at The General Hospital,in Merthyr Tydfil on 29 December 1983) is best known for his sterling work in the band The Blackout, where he sings/screams and is also a founding member of the band. His father (Howard) and brother (Jay) don't share the same interests/taste in music, and are heavily interested in motorbikes. Jay recently severly injured his back but has made a full recovery.

Sean has two tattoos on his right ankle, one is a razor blade with "im rad" on it. 5 members of Lostprophets also have the tattoo, and the other tattoo is a wreath with chequered flags to celebrate his and Ian Watkins victory over the other band members of the blackout, lostprophets and welsh alt-rock band dopamine (band)

He previously has been also been a member in the most hated/loved band to come out of South Wales, When Reason Sleeps, and also the much unknown XgrillslipX, with Gavin Butler also of The Blackout and school friend Scott Evans who guest’s on The Blackout’s I’m A Riot? You’re A Fucking Riot!.

Currently Sean is also a member of Street Truzt, an underground lounge/hip hop band that also features other members of The Blackout. They are currently writing their debut album, with several songs already circulating.

Sean has also appeared on the album “Liberation Transmission” by Lostprophets, which reached number one in the UK Album chart and has also gone Gold in the UK, screaming on the song “Everyday Combat” (credited as "Sean Blackout") as well as joining Funeral for a Friend at the Full Ponty Festival to perform “The Art Of American Football” and Fightstar on their last UK tour during their cover of Deftones’ “My Own Summer”.
