Sean Haefeli
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. 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.
