Sean Gill, better known by his stage name, Sean Barrelz, is a rising hip hop artist hailing from The Bronx, New York. Despite facing numerous challenges, Barrelz had found solace and strength in his music. His life experiences, which heavily revolve around his journey and environment, often make an appearance in his tracks. His music, as described by him, is “New York, authentic, raw, eclectic, and experimental,” reflecting his personal background and his home city.
From an early age, Barrelz showed an affinity for music. His childhood was influenced by classic tunes from a variety of genres and his environment and experiences sharpened his ear for music. Sean’s talents were recognized early on and he introduced to a recording studio owned by Leroy Burgess from the famous R&B group Black Ivory (in which he had the experience of being in a studio with one of the members).
Pushing through struggles and obstacles in life, Barrelz became more dedicated to his craft. He would often participate in rap battles while commuting on the MTA 2 train. These experiences helped shaped his style as an artist, giving him confidence and authenticity in his music.
Sean officially debuted in 2020, releasing three singles that caught the attention of listeners globally. These tracks were distributed by EBMG/SONY Orchard, a company run by Eric B, of the iconic hip hop duo Eric B. & Rakim. Since then, he has continued to make waves in the industry, collaborating on the song “Destroy & Rebuild” with the legendary Bronx MC, Fat Joe. This track in particular is a testament to his strength and determination, having been conceived during Sean’s time in a psychiatric facility.
Most recently, Barrelz has released his single, “Breakfast (Salt -N- Peppa)” and is planning for more releases soon. His earlier works, including his EP “B.A.R.R.E.L.Z” and the project “L.O.X,” can be found on all streaming platforms.
