Hear how Sean managed to learn 23 Smash Mouth songs in three days to join them on a tour of US military bases in the Middle East in 2011 and how he approaches learning other artists' music.

In 2014, Sean was burned out, sold his music catalogue and took a few years off writing, recording and touring, only to return a few years later with a different approach to the business, thanks to a chance meeting with someone from Taxi. Listen to the difference this made to Sean’s music career.

Learn how Sean’s successful formula for writing songs for music sync has earned him some huge placements, including for Orange phone network in the UK (equivalent to Verizon in the US). Sean talks about song structure, the process of instrumental cues and how to make a music supervisor's life much easier.
