BIOGRAPHY: Sean Michael Paddison

 
You can sense that Sean Michael Paddison has been a musician from early on. His fluency with music comes partly from his mother, also a musician who has performed with Oscar Peterson, and partly from having been a professional performer himself from age 14. Drawing on his vast musical and personal experiences, Sean's debut solo album, Music For Dreams , illustrates his affinity for cinematic, visually-based composition.  Music For Dreams also shows that Sean is one heck of a pianist!

Sean's admiration of producers David Foster, Quincy Jones and Alan Parsons, has helped him in his own successful studio career -- guided by their openness and ability to get to the heart of a song. A very short list of his credits includes production or performances on: Michael Jackson's "Rock With You"; Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby"; Suzanne Vega/DNA's "Tom's Diner"; and Blackbox's "Strike It Up". Add to that his work on the original movie soundtrack for Prodigal Son and you have a diverse musical talent.

With his company MusAlchemy, Sean has brought together his interests in music, broadcasting and philosophy. In addition to being a vehicle for his own album releases, MusAlchemy is home to a growing number of on-line radio stations with programming ranging from New Age to Soundtracks, from World to Meditation music, from Smooth Jazz to Folk and much more.
