Pom Oak Productions (Sean)

About Me… I have been playing the piano and singing for 25+ years. In that time, I have released and licensed some of my original songs and productions with both major networks and indie projects, produced an audiobook called Untuny (available on Audible), and had the pleasure of performing and touring much of the country playing pop rock, blues, country, and jazz styles. Music is my greatest passion, and I love sharing that passion with eager students of all ages. I currently have about 25 students that I teach weekly, ranging in ability from beginner to advanced, and I am excited to add a few more to the roster. I always aim to ensure that the lessons are fun, stress-free, inspiring, and productive/educational. Experience… I have played at various restaurants and wedding venues, frequenting notable venues like BB King’s, Bowery Electric, Pianos, Webster Hall, The Bitter End, Gramercy Theatre, Emporium, The Metropolitan Room, Stone Pony, and playing the occasional festival or college (Ramapo College, Johnson & Wales, and Rider University, among others). I’ve played in projects like Pom Oak, Rectanglez, and the Victory Drive. Further, I’ve produced for artists such as Dricky Graham, Liam Metin, and Brother Jai, and have played on songs for the likes of Vinnie Caruana, Lizzy Farrall, Val Astaire, Skyward Story, and Gabriella Pasqua. Lastly, I have extensive experience backing artists such as Abigail Breslin, Gia Farrell, Julius Trombino, Wayne Olivieri, AOH Music, Jared Wohl, BeAware, and the Ryan Allen Jazz Band.

I always aim to create clean, well-produced tracks with the time and budget allotted. Music is often a “you get what you pay for” endeavor. I understand that studio time is pricey, and so I will often spend a few extra hours polishing things up by mixing and doing post-production after you leave, pending you have spent some good time and money at my place, to try and give you the most value for your money. Bottom line: I always aim to make my recordings professional quality and want every artist that works with me to leave happy and proud of what they’ve done, with a desire to return for their next track or album.
