Sean was the absolute perfect choice for our wedding music! He created the vibe and atmosphere we were looking for!
He's an incredibly talented musician and a truly cool person so flexible and easy to work with.
On top of being a talented musician, I appreciate that his communication was very prompt and his website/pricing/setlist was very clear. He plays often all around Hawaii so you're welcome to listen to him before booking if you're on the island. He provided a discount to pay up front and worked with our budget. He learned two songs for us too and played instrumental only for our ceremony. We gave him a Spotify playlist to play when he took breaks too. Guests still rave about him!

Let me make your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and/or reception something you'll never forget! I want to work with you to help you create an evening that has the exact vibe that you've been dreaming of!
I'm a 3-time Na Hoku (Hawai’i state-wide Grammy) award-winning recording artist and performer based out of Honolulu, Hawai’i. Beyond my full band studio recordings, I regularly perform as a one-man looping experience, layering all the elements of a song (drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, vocals) in a single performance (I am also available to play purely acoustic at your event as well). Blending together a hooky pop-songwriting aesthetic with the raw emotion of my guitar, I traverse and synthesize the passion of rock and blues with the sultry sounds of r&b, jazz, and soul. Beyond event gigs, I have 3-5 residencies every week at Honolulu hotels and venues with my solo act (performing over 200 times every year).
Let's make your dream event a reality. I look forward to working with you!
