Born Sean Damon Rohde in 1968, I began my music studies at twelve.  Like so many others, I learned my favorite rock songs by ear.  But almost immediately I realized an intense desire to create.  I was no longer interested in playing the music of others; from then on I have played only my own music.

In 1986, using my name Sean Damon, I began my serious music career.  In fact, I have learned music mostly by my own efforts; I have had very little formal training.  Since beginning my studies, I have also developed a voracious appetite for high culture in all forms: the fine arts, history, and science.

Above all, though, I hold Mother Nature most dear.  In her embrace I find my classroom, my playground, and my church.  From her, I have learned to appreciate the beautiful subtleties of existence.  With her, I have experienced some of my greatest pleasures.  By her, I find the spiritual reassurance to continue through hardship and maintain a productive life.

Amid ugliness of the human world, I find paradise in my thoughts.  Whatever becomes of humanity, I shall continue to do my part to promote beauty.

Artists keep the sanity of humankind.
