The cause was never officially diagnosed but Sean has said that they (the doctors) had suspected spinal meningitis. Sean's parents bought him a drum set when he was 5 years old and he started writing songs and playing guitar when he was 10. Sean grew up playing music with his siblings. His dad, Scott Forbes, is in a Detroit country-rock band called The Forbes Brothers. Sean's mom is a Pianist. \"They played everything from The Rolling stones to The Beatles, all big band music and stuff like that.\" Sean attended R.I.T./N.T.I.D. where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in mult-disciplinary studies focusing on management, accounting, and communications. Eminem was one of the first people to actually see one of Forbes' music videos. Sean's long time producer and collaborator is Jake Bass, together they have penned over 100 songs, many of which they perform live. Sean recently had Oscar award winning actress Marlee Matlin co-star in his music video for the song \"Let's Mambo.\" \"because I play drums, I play guitar, I write songs, rapping is just something that I do because you don't want to hear me sing.\"Sean is a co-founder of D-PAN, The Deaf Professional Arts Network, an organization that has been making music accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing community by creating American Sign Language interpretation music videos of popular songs.

I was always around music, growing up. My parents played it during car trips, and we had all kinds of drums and guitars and other instruments in our basement. At an early age, my brothers and I decided we wanted to develop careers in the music business. I'm the only deaf one in the family, and also the only one who, as an adult, actively pursued music as a career.\"Sean has been featured on CNN, Parade Magazine, Vibe Magazine, Fox News, ABC News, BBC, and many more.Sean is currently on tour, performing and giving motivational speeches.".
