Sean Forbes
About
Sean Forbes (born February 5, 1982 in Detroit) is a Deaf American hip-hop artist. Sean became deaf from spinal meningitis when he was just a few months old. The cause was never officially diagnosed but Sean has said that they (the doctors) had suspected spinal meningitis. Sean's parents bought him a drum set when he was 5 years old and he started writing songs and playing guitar when he was 10. Sean grew up playing music with his siblings. His dad, Scott Forbes, is in a Detroit country-rock band called The Forbes Brothers. Sean's mom is a pianist. "They played everything from The Rolling stones to The Beatles, all big band music and stuff like that." Sean attended R.I.T./NTID where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in multi-disciplinary studies focusing on management, accounting, and communications. Eminem was one of the first people to actually see one of Forbes' music videos. Sean's long-time producer and collaborator is Jake Bass, and together they have penned over 100 songs, many of which they perform live. Sean recently had Oscar award-winning actress Marlee Matlin co-star in his music video for the song "Let's Mambo." "Rapping is just something that I do because you don't want to hear me sing."
