About Sean

Sean Michael Smith makes music as a form of active meditation and a way to glimpse inner truth. His work is a raw blend of beauty and grit, reaching toward something sacred and timeless. He dredges the depths of his soul to light a fire in your own.

Born in Sleepy Hollow, NY and raised in a Sicilian and Irish family, Sean grew up surrounded by big personalities and strong traditions, which gave him a sense of confidence and a bit of a chip on his shoulder.

Based in Charlotte, NC, he lives with his wife, Catherine, and two sons, Enzo and Mario.

His debut orchestral work, Symphony No. 1 β€œThe Wolf,” is a visceral and bold musical journey; the culmination of years spent quietly building something worthy.
