Hip Hop CSS Artist Spotlight: Desmond Sean, soulful, stylish and talented.

Don't Blame It On Love

In today’s competitive and image driven music industry, one gentleman from the South has undeniable talent and musicianship that is rewriting the standards for today’s mainstream artist. His name is Desmond Sean. His bluesy tones, soulful style & vocal range is sure to set him apart from the average R&B crooner, landing him on the same playing field with the likes of John Legend, Seal & Stevie Wonder.

Born in eastern Arkansas, raised in the small military town of Lawton, OK., Desmond was introduced to music by his father, who was the church’s musician, and his mother, who sang in the choir.  Songs by the Winans family and Commissioned were major influences, and as he grew older, his repertoire expanded to include mainstream artists such as Boyz II Men, Mint Condition, Michael Jackson, Meatloaf & Madonna who were making extreme moves in the industry at that time.

With a passion to progress the current state of music, Desmond Sean showcases raw singing ability and showmanship which is what the Pop/Soul genre was built upon. With material exploring subject matters that represent a realistic viewpoint of today’s listener, Desmond adds a creative, exciting musical flair that is sure to keep the listeners entertained as well as informed.

Though known for his extensive work as an industry background vocalist, having lent his vocals to some of music’s legends including being a regular house singer on BET’s The Mo’Nique Show & Sunday Best Season 4 & touring with R&B/Soul songstress, Angie Stone, Desmond is currently in the process of finishing his debut album, expected to be released in 2012. The leading single, Don’t Blame It On Love, was released digitally worldwide to rave reviews.

Desmond Sean, along with his team of producers, the HitSmiths, hopes to continue in the tradition of legendary artists and producers who have blazed the trail. “I’m a storyteller,” he proclaims, “and I get to share great stories to an amazing soundtrack. It doesn’t get much better than that!”
