Sean Haefeli

Sean Haefeli, the uniquely talented, Indianapolis-born, Chicago-chiseled and Berlin-based vocalist/emcee/pianist, has been on the music scene for two decades. He has gained a reputation as an adept lyricist, versatile vocalist and skillful keyboardist, receiving the attention of international tastemakers such as Gilles Peterson and Lefto. The author, Kalamu ya Salaam writes, “he takes unexpected twists and turns, puts lyrics you have to listen to at least thrice in order to decipher the deeptitudes being discussed…sometimes it swings, sometimes it grooves but there is always something emotionally moving going on.” Sean’s music bridges the gap between the classic and cutting-edge. He has collaborated on a range of projects, from Jazzanova to San Soda and the Polish Ambassador. With his distinctive skill set and compositional flare, he inhabits a space all his own.
