Growing up, Sean was a gifted and talented young man. An artist and dancer, he also enjoyed Martial Arts, and wrote, performed and produced an album and had completed writing a rappers opera which will be performed in his honour later this year - he had so much to live for.
A charismatic and ambitious person, Sean was a natural musician and rapper who wrote and recorded his own material, working with many different producers, singers and musicians to produce his debut Album ‘Be Brother B Good’ in 2007. He set up his own record label ‘Dan Man Records’ with friends from which he put out his own music
Gentle and loving by nature, he achieved so much in his short life despite the many adversities he managed to overcome the odds that were stacked against him. This showed his strength of character and determination not to be stigmatised by bouts of mental illness. For most of the time, Sean was able to achieve a good quality of life. Although he had a history of mental illness, in the last few years he spent much of his time giving back to the community. He was a mentor, be-friender, an advocate and gave many hours in volunteering at the Franz Fanon Community Centre in Brixton.
Born and raised in England, he was well travelled and enjoyed discovering aspects of different cultures.
