My name is Sean Williams, I am already an existing composer with Artlist. I've mentioned to Jason Farber (my client liaison) that I have started this new branch of ambient under a new name that will run alongside my current projects with Artlist.  He suggested I apply and submit this new music project here. I trust this music will fit well with Artist. 


I was Born in 1982 in Durban, South Africa, he grew up in a little town called the Bluff.
 
In his later school years, his education included learning to play guitar and song writing (with strong influences from Dave Matthews Band). By playing in a variety of bands and recording his own music.

"Seeing the process come together in studio has always amazed me,” he says. “It’s not just seeing the influence of a great musical mind on a song - its how the music can start as one thing and end up as something completely different. It was in those years that I realised that I not only wanted to write and perform, but produce and compose music as well.” 

Sean then enrolled himself in a local college to study sound engineering. Giving him a solid grounding, this also kicked off a period of momentum working as an audio engineer within the music and advertising space. 

The next couple of years saw Sean get married and welcome his first child with his wife. After cutting his sound engineering teeth by producing telephone on-hold messages in Durban, he made the decision to leave that industry and search for a different way of living. And so, on a whim, he moved his family to Hong Kong for what would be a wonderful break that enabled him to write, record and produce an album, as well as giving him the opportunity to set up a studio within a nearby high school for recording their local talent. 

Sean’s intense love for music composition and production began to grow and after two years, the family decided to move back to South Africa, settling in Johannesburg, South Africa: The City! 

Settling into the local post-production industry, Sean began work as a sound designer and final mix engineer at Sterling Sound, a top post-production facility in South Africa where he still works creating radio and television commercials, in addition to composing music. 

Sean is still residing in Johannesburg with his three sons and his songstress wife, with whom he is currently working on a new album. His influences include Deep Forrest, Moby, Keith Keniffs, Dustin O'Halloran, Ludovico Einaudi and Theodore Shapiro, to name a few.
