Sean Focus Presents: The GRDN Sessions

Zimbabwean born Edinburgh based artist Sean Focus drops the final session of The GRDN Sessions: a new live series celebrating some of the most exciting names in Scottish music. Showcasing five artists from cities across Scotland, The GRDN Sessions is an intimate project inspired by Sean’s videos filmed in his garden during lockdown.

When live shows were paused back in 2020, Sean took matters into his own hands filming and sharing performances from his garden as a way of connecting with his fans. Building on the success of this, The GRDN Sessions sees him collaborate with his agent Emma Picken as they curate this series of raw sessions designed to showcase the best in up and coming talent from across the country.

This final instalment comes from Edinburgh courtesy of Sean himself. With performances as energy-filled as his music, Sean connects the dots between his heritage and his new home to create an international sound inspired by his life across continents.

Earlier this year he was invited to Abbey Road Studios by the BBC and Micah Brown to test the cutting edge technology BrainRap before releasing his fresh new track Bla Bla with DIzZY VC in March. Since then he’s going onto launch his monthly Amo Afro Scotland event series at 4042 that champions Amapiano music and has his debut performance at Mzansi Festival coming up this July. Laying down a compelling blend of afro-pop, hip-hop and dancehall, Sean has been championed by BBC 1Xtra, Apple Music Radio, Capital Xtra & BBC Introducing with tastemakers DJ Target, Kenny Allstar & Charlie Sloth also supporting his releases.
