The acoustic alternative sounds of Sean McKenna capture the human condition and all its emotional depth in the power of song. McKenna searches deep in his own soul to find heart truths that reflect all our lives. Thus, his music is both personal and universal, the true mark of an artist. McKenna isn't afraid to bare his soul in his songwriting; it's courage and intelligence are the pillars of its success.
Open Diary
McKenna's willingness to wear his heart on his sleeve through his songwriting has a lot to do with why his songs strike a chord in the listener and why the audience can always find some new nuance to explore and understand. McKenna considers his music to be a journal open wide for all to read. “My music is my open diary,” he says. “It's my way of talking about my problems in life.”
Observation
Besides peering into his own soul, McKenna is a studier of people. His music works because it understands the human condition and it has that wisdom because of McKenna's astute reflections on life. Every day we interact with people. For many of us, these are fleeting experiences, relegated to the back of one's memory, if kept at all. McKenna pays close attention, however, to the relationships and actions of people, analyzing motive and trying to further understand why people do what they do. It enriches his music. “I'm inspired by people around me. I observe life, including my own.”
The Artist at Work
McKenna has already established himself as a stage presence to watch. His talent is noteworthy. He plays all the instruments for his songs but uses live looping to create the illusion of a full band on stage. He's toured up and down the east coast, hitting a variety of venues. He also had his own show at the House of Blues. New touring is in the works in support of the re-release of his “Cutting Room Floor” album. Meanwhile, he's always busy writing new music and McKenna's in the studio frequently. He is currently working with A&R Select, the world's leading independent artist development firm, based out of Los Angeles, CA.
“McKenna searches the human heart and brings back beautiful maps. Those maps are his songs.” - A&R Select

Cher Ami, Mon clip Neurofibro est en ligne depuis hier. Il parle de la maladie génétique orpheline, la neurofibromatose, dont je suis atteint et qui m’a paralysé il y a maintenant 10 ans. Il faut absolument se mobiliser. Si vous voulez nous aider, merci de le regarder et de le diffuser à toutes vos connaissances. Pour nous, les malades, c’est vital. Plus le clip sera vu, plus la maladie, sera connue, plus nous aurons de poids dans les médias et surtout plus on aura de chance qu’un médicament soit trouvé. Merci à tous.
Dear Friend,
I posted my clip, Neurofibro, to my myspace page yesterday and I hope you will take a moment to watch. It talks about the genetic, childhood disease, neurofibromatosis, which I have and which has left me paralyzed for 10 years now.
For those of us, who are sick, it is vital to mobilize for a cure. Please, watch my clip and, if you would like to help, please send it on to your friends. With this clip our voice will be heard, and more people, and the media, will learn about this tragic disease. By spreading the word we will have achieved something great, a better chance at finding the cure we so desperately desire.
