Born on Feburary 15th 1988, Sean Constant (SC) was the second child of a
couple never married. Since birth he was unique. He lived with a single
mother in Brooklyn and at that time, certain areas in Brooklyn were
poverty stricken. Areas like Bed-Stuy, Brownsville, and Crown-Heights
were run by drug lords and and over run by fiends. As a single parent of
2, his mother made sure her sons never associated with anything that had
to do with drugs, guns and any other negativity that plagued their
neighborhood. She raised her kids as strictly as possible but always
encoraged their freedom of expression, as long as it didn't hurt any one
or violated any law. Life was hard for them due to the fact they were
poor. She had another child which increased the stress on the family.
Soon they were homeless. Moving from the homes of one family member to
another in the span of 2 years.In his early age, Sean was a very obidient child. Excellent in school
and extremly quite. Always keeps to him self and his books. But some
where down the line, Sean took a turn for the worst and started hanging
out wit the wrong crowd which always landed him in trouble in school and
giving him a bad name inside his family. From the age of 12 to the age
of 14, Sean was constantly in trouble and headed for the wrong
direction. Until a near fatal fight with his older brother changed his
ways forever. He graduated JHS by a hair and finally decided to carry
his own weight.Sean first realized his love for writing before he found his love for
music. Writing always came naturally to him. At a young age he taught
himself how to read and write since his mother was always busy with his
older brother, who was a very bad student at the time. Every where he
went he read. Anything from advertisements on the buses to dropped
newspapers on the trains to books in the library at school. All this
reading helped his vocabulary grow. Which gives him the versatiliy he
now posses in his songs. He began writing stories and riddles which
gaves him practice as a writer. This is evident in the way he puts words
together and the way he uses common phrases in unorthodox ways. His love
for music wasn't discovered until he was a freshman in highschool. His
then music teacher constantly talked about old school music and Sean
actually new what songs he was talking about. This is due to his mother
playing old school r and b in the house all the time. He uses this
knowledge to make new school music with an old school feel all the while
adding a twist of his own unique creativity.In 10th grade, he discovered a couple of friends of his rapped and when
asked if he rapped too, he lied and said yes. This was the beginning of
the beginning. Through out his high school career, he was involed in
numerous freestyle battles and always came out the victor. His writing
skills landed him an offer with a local broadway entertainer who
annually organized a play at his high school Park West. He wrote,
produced and stared in the play which also helped him discover his love
for performance. From then on he recorded countless songs on his
computor, collaborated with his friends and honed his skills as an
artist. With his family always 100% behind him but always stressing
education first, he graduated high school and enrolled as a biology
student at St Johns University. He soon dropped out realizing that
wasn't his passion or his destiny. He pursued his music career and also
inspired to become a police officer, but music always came first.My inspirations include Jay-Z. I feel he laid the path for a Brooklyn
teenager with a dream. He did it his way, and I will do it mines.
T-Pain. His unorthodox ways makes him very talented. Reminds me of my
self in certain ways. Lupe Fiasco. His cool laid back ways reminds me of
myself as well. He's an ill lyricist and I feel he's a legend all his
own. Kanye West. His cocky attitude shows in his music. He's one of the
most unique and talented artist that came out in the last 10 years and
his music is one of a kind. A big inspiration of mines are my family,
friends, and every one else who supports me...
