BIO
Sean Khan was born in London and began playing clarinet and saxophone from the age of 11. Some years later he began the study of flute and private harmony lessons from Lionel Griegson. When Sean left school he began to work professionally as a freelance musician who specialized mainly in jazz, though he had been strongly influenced by all genres of urban music (dance, hip hop and drum n bass and Latin). However, he soon found work as a recording artist with the likes of Martin Virgo (Nellie Hooper’s production team, Mono) and Ernest Mckone (Galliano, Push, Paul Wellar).  It was through his association with Ernest Mckone that he released his first dance record, which proved to be successful and led to many other recording opportunities .

Sean has sent a demo of a soul album for Sony records, that wasn’t accepted by the label. However the demo strongly impressed Mike Slocombe from Goya records and they asked Sean to form a band. This band became known as SK radicals and the first single ‘Reachin 4 da Farside’ became hit. Sean teamed up with Bugz in the Attic to produce the first SK radicals album, ‘When will we belong’. The success of this record enabled Sean to build his own studio, which he produced the second SK radicals record, ‘Urban Ecletiks’.

With the SK radicals Sean has worked with a number of notable musicians and groups such as Bugz in the Attic, Mark de Clive Lowe, Kaidi Tathum, Daz I Que, Recloose, Derrick McIntyre (Roy Ayres, Incognito). 

And now to the present, Sean has always been steeped in Jazz and it was only a matter of time before he put together an acoustic jazz Project.

In ‘Slow Burner’, Sean’s first release on Far Out recordings, featuring Tim Lapthorn, Mike Edmonds, Laurie Lowe, Genevieve Grant and Susan Allotey. The album features some of the best young jazz musicians in London’s and Europe’s jazz scene.

Sean Khan has performed/recorded/played with a number of international artists, such as Bheki Mseleku (Joe Henderson, Elvin Jones Groups), Clifford Jarvis (the last John Coltrane Group) from the world of Jazz and Lisa Stansfield, Jocelyn Brown (Incognito), Mica Paris, The Beastie Boys from the pop world. Sean has performed on many sessions in a variety of different set ups. As already stated he is also the producer and founder of the ‘cult electro funk group’ (Jazz Café magazine). ‘SK radicals’ which number the great bass player Derek Mckintyre as a member (Jamiroquai, Roy Aryers and the Jazz Crusaders). Sean has performed at the Nancy jazz festival, Douro jazz festival, Rivoli theatre (Porto jazz festival), Jazz Café (London), Cargo, ICA, Jamboree (Barcelona), Jazz Café (Havanna Cuba, leading his own quartet of Cuban musicians), Edinburg festival and many other venues in Europe, he has toured Scandinavia, Switzerland and France.

The album ‘Slow Burner’ represents Sean’s journey back to one of his main loves, Jazz improvisation. His playing pays homage to Coltrane, Henderson, Parker and Shorter and there is also a vocal tribute to Stevie Wonder. ‘What is Jazz?’ is a political statement delivered via the spoken Word artist Genevieve Grant (San Francisco spoken Word scene) where she recites an essay about what jazz is and what is becoming of it? The group sound gives a nod to the contemporary (hip hop, drum n bass) but also to the hard swing of New York and the almost free sound of Europe.

Songwriter, producer and artist from the west coast of Sweden. Part of producer duo ORCA Sounds at studio Music-A-Matic in Gothenburg.
