DJ Sean Phillips

British born singer, songwriter and DJ, Sean Phillips, has had a music career spanning over 3 decades. His DJ career begin in the 80s spearheading the MOD REVIVAL in SHEFFIELD. Unhappy with the ubiquitous & archetypal Mod DJs playing The Who, Small Faces et al, he decided to remain true to the esoteric 60s RnB, SOUL & SKA sound, introducing it to the Sheffield Mod scene. He became in demand & DJ’d all across the UK. He was subsequently mentioned in the hallowed ‘Our Generation’ tome by Tony Beesley, describing the pivotal characters in the burgeoning, South Yorkshire Punk & Mod scene in the early 80s.

In 2001 Sean had developed his song writing skills to such a degree he signed with publishing giants, EMI PUBLISHING LTD.. Sean made a name for himself writing top 20 hits in early 2000 for Sheffield girl band Supersister, S Club 7 and Pop Idol winner Michelle McManus.
