Sean Washington
Hi, I'm Sean! I have been active in the music world since my discovery of the saxophone in early elementary school. Though I prefer to play alto, I have experience with Bari, Tenor, and Soprano Sax as well. I soley played Sax for quite a few years before deciding to branch off into other musical interests such as piano and choir.
I spent my first time around in college at Michigan State University studying for a Bachelors in Theater with a focus on music and musical theater. I recently went back to school in 2020 to pursue an accelerated Bachelor of Science degree in Audio Production from Full Sail University. I graduated on December 18, 2022, as one of the top students in the degree program and earned Course Director awards for Listening Skills for Audio Professionals and for Advanced Mixing Techniques. I specialize in Sound Design, Audio Production, Recording, and am a longtime vocalist. I've collected over two decades of experience in the music industry now.
In my free time, I enjoy singing (especially Karaoke), spending time with my wife and two kids, visiting amusement parks, and playing video games.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

Real-life hero:
My parents are my real-life heroes. They are a true example of what marriage looks like, raising a family, and having values. They have taught me to be the same type of person and example to my family. I often reach to them for encouragement when needed, and a reminder that life is short and to live each day to the fullest.

Guilty pleasure of choice:
I'm a Fortnite addict! I also still enjoy playing things such as Guitar Hero and Rockband. Recently, I downloaded an air guitar game on my Oculus Quest 3 called Unplugged VR Air Guitar because I secretly am a rock star at heart and can live out that fantasy in the game.

What did you dream about doing for a living when you were growing up?
My dream growing up was to be a Professional R&B singer and a top music producer. Somewhere deep in my heart and mind the dream is still in mind. Working at Sweetwater is allowing me to bring that dream closer to reality. I am surrounded daily by amazing professionals in the music industry, I am gaining a ton of knowledge on gear and recording equipment, and I am motivated here to work towards my dreams, so I'm doing exactly that.
