About Me

Sean Cleaver, Born and raised in Hemel Hempstead, has been playing guitar for well over 16yrs and became a regular and a popular artist at local open mic nights. Sean became friends with local solo musician and Black Ballroom front man Tim Watt and with other musicians from the local bands and music scene regulars. Sean became very popular with his crowd pleasing style, charismatic performances and quality songs, as well as the odd pixies cover here and there, and so quickly gained a following. Sean produced several homemade demo’s, which are available to listen to on this site, and after a string of support slots, Sean headlined his own acoustic night in May 2006 at Indy Jax. He’d previously supported Tim Watt, The Row, Weekend Radio, and also worked with The Phoenix Music Project.
It was now time for Sean to find his time to rock. After being brought up with various rock records in his ears and hearing how dull popular rock music had become, Sean teamed up again with former Etain Nicks personnel (Sean's Previous band) Oxfez & Stainiak and continued under the Project:Baracus banner with several shows over late 2006 and early 2007. Project:Baracus are currently on hiatus.
Since then Sean has formed Toxins with Oxfez and Ky Wilkinson formerly of the Row & SSP. They are currently building a massive fanbase and playing many gigs with the effort of pushing out crap music. Check out and add www.myspace.com/toxinsuk
