An accomplished and passionate<br \/>\ndrummer, rhythm pours out of him. Music is in his blood, his cells; it\u2019s<br \/>\njust the way he is. Sean is also deaf &#8211; and out to build a badly needed<br \/>\nbridge between the music industry and deaf people everywhere. Sean grew up<br \/>\nin Detroit, where his parents, both musicians, filled their home with the<br \/>\nsounds of the Motor City. Despite losing his hearing as a baby, Sean soaked<br \/>\nup the beats and vibrations, experiencing great music in his own way. Today,<br \/>\nSean is producing professional music videos with a focus on the Deaf and<br \/>\nHard of Hearing Community, and is a voice for both his generation and Deaf<br \/>\nCulture. He is co-founder of D-PAN, The Deaf Professional Arts Network, a<br \/>\nnon-profit organization that focuses on translating popular artists\u2019 songs<br \/>\ninto American Sign Language music videos for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.<br \/>\nHis dream of music for all has helped to transform the way the Deaf perceive<br \/>\nmusic, and Sean Forbes is living proof that if you have enough passion and<br \/>\ndedication, magic happens and dreams come true!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRESS RELEASE It\u2019s Autumn!
