Clearly the Rap revelation of this year 2020, Sean appears as the new treasure of French Rap. With a visual, melodic and lyrical universe all his own, the Parisian rapper is without a doubt one of the rappers to keep your eyes on. He told us with a touch of bitterness how his latest MP3 + WAV project was born after a burglary, also shows us the agility with which he and his team bounced back. Mysterious and fascinating, Sean was able to create his own universe and we must admit that it's captivating. The one who knew how to bewitch us through sounds like 'Mood', 'En Vrai' and 'Temps D'un Été' took the time to confide to A Rap & A Cup of Tea about the evolution of his career, his vision of music and his musical desires. Passionate, humble and sincere, Sean is undoubtedly destined for a promising future and we can't wait to find out what the future holds. Can you tell me about your background in music? For now, I'd say that my career is quite short (laughs). I started doing sound under the name Sean when I was in high school I think... The first sound I made was thanks to my manager because he paid me for my studio session. At the time, I had stopped doing music for a while and he said "Keep going, there's something to do". And in the end, two weeks later he found the people with whom I made my first music video. I think that's when I started thinking that I really had to keep going. Your last project, before this one, named À Moitié Loup was released last April and less than 6 months later you are back with a new EP. Is it the infatuation of your fans that made you come back so quickly? Yep totally! With my team we are also in a really productive process and we try to make a maximum of sound. Now we're in a new era of consumption, so in the end I think we're just trying to produce as much as people want. It's like a cycle, people consume the music faster so we produced it faster and then we make it available quickly. In fact, I've heard that the sequel is almost ready... Yeah that's right, we're seriously ready. (laughs) You know, we got robbed the night of the national day celebration [July 14 in France], and so we got back the sounds from the project in our emails. That's why we named it MP3+WAV. On this project the sounds are not mixed but only mastered and I made them almost 2 years ago... I didn't want to lose them, that's why we decided to release this project as it is. So that explains why we are already ready for the next part... In the end, I haven't released the tracks I've been working on recently.
