About Me

For over 10 years Sean Sheap has been involved in creating Hip Hop music, working with various groups such as ‘Audio’, ‘The Argonauts’, ‘Empty Sedna (VB12)’, and most recently as part of ‘The Free Agent Crew’ .

‘Trash and Treasure’ is Sean Sheap’s latest solo release, which sees him continue to hone his craft as a Hip Hop producer and DJ

The tracks on this album tell the story of what it means to be a collector. Someone who wades through endless opportunity shops, markets, garage sales, hand-me-downs and preloved products in order to find a diamond in the rough, that speck of gold that is a must-have addition to their collection. It is about recycling the old in order to make something new, creating funk from the junk and turning Trash into Treasure.
