Sean Forbes is a musician on a mission. An accomplished and passionate
drummer, rhythm pours out of him, when he breathes, walks, types at his
keyboard or hits his drums. Music is in his blood, his cells; it’s just
the way he is. He’s also deaf – and out to build a badly needed bridge
between the music industry and deaf people everywhere.
With his passion for music, Sean has opened the door to musical
expression – a world historically considered off limits to people in
the deaf community. His dream of music for all has helped to transform
the way deaf people perceive music. Through his videos and his outreach
to deaf people everywhere – particularly young people eager to feel
included in popular culture – music is being presented to them as a
beautiful symphony of thought and expression, available to all. The
hearing community, too, is fascinated by his ASL translations of
musical hits and is clamoring for more.
Sean Forbes is living proof that if you have enough passion and
dedication, magic happens and dreams come true.
