Something Wicked Artist Profile: Sean Tyas

artist sean tyasA New York native now residing in Switzerland, Something Wicked artist Sean Tyas first burst on the scene in 2006 when Sander van Doorn selected him as the winner of the “Punk’d’ Remix Competition.” The Discover label later went on to sign up his early releases like “Lift” which grabbed the attention of many in the trance community.

As part of a new age of trance DJs, Sean has stood out among the rest by creating a recognizable trance style and sound. “Back in the late 90s, I started listening to sets from early Paul van Dyk, Tiësto, Ferry Corsten and Paul Oakenfold. I was previously into hardcore, gabber, jungle and drum and bass, so this was a huge change for me and a beautiful sound compared to the others. My all time biggest inspiration was Paul van Dyk. He began this specific type of trance and I don’t think anyone can deny that.”

With a pin point on his signature sound, Sean Tyas began to emerge as one of the most talented and in demand producers in the industry today, working with the likes of Armin van Buuren on “Intricacy” and requested remixer for “Suburban Train” for Tiësto, “Oceanic” for Above & Beyond and “Waiting’ for Dash Berlin.

Sean’s meteoric rise has been is reflected in various accolades such as being awarded “Best New Face” at the Trance Awards, “Best New DJs” slot on Mixmag’s list and also appearing on Beatport’s “One To Watch.”

Sean’s in demand sounds are backed by a genuine love for the music and a clear passion for his fans. Having toured the world performing at the most prestigious dance music festivals with his mixing style and a recognizable trance sound, we can’t to hear Sean’s intensely serene sounds when he takes the stage on Saturday, October 26th for Houston’s Something Wicked 2013.
