Sean Donovan

I got my start 13 years ago (around Easter 2005 to be exact). I began recording a batch of 15 acoustic demos on a simple Sony MiniDisc recorder and cheap microphone. The demos were not very good quality and some of them skipped, but they were there for referential purposes. A couple of years later, I received my first MacBook computer and, a little bit later, I bought a cheap $25 microphone and an iMic system to hook up to my computer. With that, I started recording some of the acoustic and full-band demos. Over the summer of 2008, after purchasing a Blue SnowBall mic and Toneport GX, I went back and re-recorded most of my songs I had at that point.After college, the live shows started coming around in my hometown. Granted, they were cover bands, but they got me comfortable with the stage. With the comfortability came stage presence, confidence in rolling through screw-ups and flubbed lyrics, and banter with the audience during the show. It was an eye-opening experience, and I hope to get back to it very soon.In the summer of 2014, I embarked on an adventure to write at least one song a week for one year. Equipped with new guitars, a new bass, decent mics, and a wealth of emotions after experiencing changes for the good and bad, I wrote over 100 songs in the course of 10 months (the project ended horribly, with inspiration lacking toward the end).In June 2015, a move to Nashville was in order. Since the move, I haven't been as involved in music (the live aspect), but the creativity has been ever present. I have an entire back catalog of unused chord progressions and riffs to utilize for later.
