Born and raised in Charlotte, NC, Sean Mason taught himself by ear how to play the piano at the age of 13. His beginning musical roots included Gospel, Classical, Hip-Hop, and R&B music, but then he discovered jazz and decided to make a career of it. 

To further his knowledge, Sean went to study music at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. After two years of study, Sean decided to move to New York City and transfer his studies to The Juilliard School, studying for another two years before ultimately leaving to pursue his music interests independently. In his short but already groundbreaking career, Sean has played and toured with many jazz professionals, prominently including Branford Marsalis and Wynton Marsalis, but among many others – and he is most noted for his ability to fluently play many different styles of jazz, spanning across multiple time periods. Sean is based in New York City, and aside from being a sideman member of many successful jazz bands, Sean leads his own band, “The Sean Mason Trio”, which performs and tours across the globe.

In addition to his jazz career, Sean is also a composer, orchestrator, and music director in the musical theatre space.
