Sean Altman


Sean is an undisputed pioneer of the modern a cappella movement. He is the only three-time winner of the Contemporary A Cappella Society's "Original Song of the Year" award, and has also received the "Best Male Vocalist" prize. After college, Sean founded Rockapella on a Manhattan street corner with the sole intent of earning enough quarters to buy an order of Orange Chicken at Hunan Cottage. (This dish remains a favorite of Sean's.) His manic orchestration of the calypso classic "Zombie Jamboree" led to the Rockapella's big-break star turn on the PBS-TV documentary Spike Lee & Co.: Do It A Cappella. Producers of the fledgling PBS-TV daily show Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? promptly signed up Rockapella for a five-year stint as the house vocal band. Carmen won numerous Emmys and the coveted Peabody Award while attracting a fanatical viewership of 20 million. Rockapella's career erupted from there -- nine CD releases; gigs in 1000-seat venues; eight tours of Japan; concerts with Billy Joel, Sting and Don Henley; TV specials with Jay Leno and Whoopi Goldberg; and numerous commercials. Through it all, Sean's sardonic master-of-ceremonies stage persona, warm connection with the audience, and composing prowess earned him the moniker "the Heart and Soul of Rockapella."
