There can’t be a much greater gift than parents who fill a home and a childhood with music, which is exactly what Dutch artist Sean Christopher was lucky enough to have. Informed by his father’s flamenco guitar playing and his mother’s extensive record collection, Christopher quickly caught the music bug. With a more formal education in music production at Codarts in Rotterdam and the opportunity to learn and master a variety of instruments, Sean Christopher naturally fell into writing music for films and commercials. However, the musician has always retained an individualistic creativity, an example being the four-year-old track ‘Everything’ recorded in a self-built studio in The Hague. Now, Sean Christopher has relocated to Bristol, UK, with a renewed energy and a new song ‘Paper Plane Pilot’. This bouncing, acoustic single is a soothing narrative that is sure to put the listener at ease. It’s an incredibly well-balanced song with each folky element coming together for a natural crescendo that ends with a simple cymbal crash. ‘Paper Plane Pilot’ is out now via Sean Christopher’s new label home Dumont Dumont. - HT
