The Weak Need

Since 1991, Sean has been heard across Canadian airwaves either singing his own songs, singing jingles, or supporting other Canadian artists with his solid, unique background vocal offerings.

Sean began his career after graduating from Fanshawe Colleges Music Industry Arts (M.I.A.) program where he studied recording engineering and music production. After he graduated, he immediately started his own studio that not only allowed him to help local bands to craft their own projects but more importantly, allowed him to work on his original material. During that time, he hooked up with Juno Award winning producer J. Richard (Rick) Hutt (Northern Pikes, Tom Cochrane, Jamie Warren) from Cedartree Recording Studios. This began a long working relationship with Sean and Rick that saw Sean pairing up with such artists as Ken Munshaw, Jamie Warren, Beverley Mahood, and Giselle Brohman (From the country group Lace) along with a number of other artists that were recording at Cedartree. Sean can also be heard on a number of both radio and television jingles.

As word began to spread to the other studios in town of Sean's versatility as a vocalist, his plate became very full, very quickly. Sean began working at the acclaimed Waxworks studios, and AME studios alongside with producer Bruce Ellis, and Andrew Horrocks as well as The Walters Family Studios where Darren Walters (Engineer) had this to say about Sean after a session with country singer Jason McCoy:

"His vocal arrangements are always very professional and his pitch is better than anyone Ive worked with. Sean also has the ability to change the texture of his voice so all you really need in a vocal session is Sean. I look forward to working further with Sean and his many personalities."

—Darren Walters

Sean continued to write and record but chose to selectively withdraw from session work for a couple of years to both refine and re-define his songwriting style and his singing voice. It was during this time that Sean was asked to lead worship at the Kitchener Vineyard where he continued to grow as a worship leader and musician for 5 years until the church folded in late September '06.

"WALK", a storybook of songs will be the initial offering born out of personal triumphs, struggles, and a deep contemplation of his place in life over the past number of years.

Currently, The Weak Need is navigating with quiet determination and resolve on this expedition to "WALK"
