Sean Haefeli is an innovative pianist-vocalist, lyricist-composer, distinctively
modern and yet, traditionally skilled. He represents a new breed, schooled in
jazz, soul and hip-hop, able to execute with an emcee’s sense of flow, a
singer’s melodic sensibilities, and a jazz pianist’s deft improvisations.
Born in Indianapolis, Sean studied piano from a young age, later branching
out as a vocalist. As a university student, his musical training led him to
Chicago, where he delved into the city’s expansive artistic landscape,
performing on the spoken-word, hip-hop and jazz scenes. He went on to
produce and release three albums while based in Chicago, each taking the
listener on an eclectic and personal journey, eliciting references from Gil
Scott-Heron, to Bobby McFerrin and Myka 9.
An adventurous spirit, after visiting Berlin, Sean became captivated by the
city and spontaneously decided to move. Since, he has performed across
Europe, been recognized by international tastemakers, such as Gilles
Peterson and Lefto, and distinguished himself through a diverse range of
collaborations, notably Jazzanova and The Polish Ambassador.
With his new album, Flying Broken Form, Sean continues his sound
exploration, coloring the work with synths, powerful background vocals,
poetic lyricism, and evocative harmonies. Bridging the gap between the
classic and cutting-edge, commanding a distinctive skill set and
compositional flare, Sean inhabits a space all his own.
