Personal life

Originally from Long Island, New York, Sean's interest in electronic music began in 1991 when he heard a tape containing various electronic interpretations of "O'Fortuna." From then on, he began listening to what was then known as "techno." He took his first steps into music production in 2000/2001, using software called "Impulse Tracker" on the Microsoft DOS operating system.^[3]

In 2004, Sean moved to Germany to begin work producing for DJ Beam, followed by a move to a more appealing set-up in Switzerland, where he produced several successful singles for Dave202. Sean continues to live in Switzerland, now with his Swiss wife Mirella.

He's living for many years in small Swiss village, Teufen.
