Sean Christopher

Barbara Jordon, a Film and TV Music Supervisor calls Sean's music "Majestic and Soothing...a powerful voice in a new generation of music" Kathy Parsons of Mainlypiano.com says "His music has a very Cinematic and visual quality" Others have said "it's like music from a movie...Should be in a Cirque Du Soleil show" Sean Christopher, whos real name is Sean Christopher McGee, has been composing since he was five years old. "It's all my grandfather’s fault," he says, tongue in cheek. His grandfather, Dennis McGee, was a well-known Louisiana Cajun musician who had been taught to play the violin at an early age. This love of music continued with his dad Gerry McGee, a successful guitar player who has accompanied such artists as Elvis Presley, Kris Kristofferson, Eric Clapton, and many more. In his early years, Sean’s mother, Anne McGee, a successful singer/songwriter and children's author, influenced his piano and writing skills. His mother had purchased a piano for herself but it was Sean, who would spend most of his time crafting his talent. Somewhere near the age of seven, Sean, was visiting a friends house and discovered a grand piano sitting gracefully in the living room. He began playing a tune. His friends mother asked Sean, how he knew how to play the song he was playing. Sean, had no idea he was playing to the tune of "Fur Elise" "I don't recall ever hearing that song before, Sean says, I just knew how to play it or a part of it at least” He also took interest in a song he heard on the radio called "The Music Box Dancer" and learned how to play it by ear. In his later years he was introduced to a music composing computer program called "Performer”, which was used on one of the very earliest versions of the Apple computer with a screen no bigger than 4x4 and a Yamaha DX7. So, with a few sound modules and a somewhat primitive mixing board, Sean taught himself how to compose. This desire and love of composition has continued to grow over the years. “As long as there are people who want to listen,” he says, “I will continue to write.” Sean has also been involved in film making and photography as well as the art of Painting.
