Biography

Christian Sean is a believer in the transformative power of pop music. As a kid, he was drawn to indie rock and left-field electronics, part of a Montreal scene that disavowed commerciality in favour of innovation. Over time, however, he surrendered to his true calling – making the best music of his life with a unique blend of melodic sensibilities and avant-garde experimentation.

Music runs deep in his soul. The early years of his childhood were nomadic – born in Switzerland to American parents who were members of a Christian cult, they travelled across Europe and the Southern states before his mother finally escaped and settled in Montreal. Granted a non-religious childhood, he revelled in freedom, and this independence rings out in his art.

Starting with the guitar at the tender age of 10, he was gifted his first sampler at the age of 14 – the hallowed Roland SP-404. Watching indie bands perform around Montreal, he started a group with a bunch of teenage friends, playing DIY shows at warehouse spaces and house parties. Like most teenage bands, it didn’t last long. When the group dissolved he moved to São Paulo, Brazil with his then-partner, spending six months in student dorms focusing on his music.

Emboldened, Christian Sean returned to Montreal and threw himself into the city’s music scene. Whether it was touring arenas in a pop star’s backing band or playing a left-field electronic show in an art gallery, he’d tackle each opportunity with complete commitment. Having spent the last few years honing his craft, he is now ready to reveal the fruits of his creativity.
