SEAN KEITH
Sean grew up in Bakersfield, CA until the age of 17 when his family moved to Chicago, IL. Music has always been his focus but songwriting did not come until later in life. He started singing at a young age in a very musical family but drums seemed to be what he was most drawn to. In 1996, he graduated from Belmont University in Nashville, TN. with his degree in Music (drums/percussion).
For 6 years, Sean played drums for various artists until 1999, when he and his wife, Lisa, moved to Omaha, NE. to take a position at LIFEGATE Church as worship leader for student ministries.

Since then, his albums include, Back To You (2006), Together For The Nations (2006), Dare To Imagine (2009), and his latest, Your Victory Remains (2012). In 2010, Sean co-wrote and produced the debut LIFEGATE Worship Band CD, Brand New Day, in 2010. Â
His heart for worship is evident in his music. His purpose in songwriting and recording is to equip the local and global Church with songs that empower people to worship abandoned to God.
In 2006, Sean began GRADIENTrecords, however, in 2009, he signed with TENT Creative Group. He co-wrote and recorded ‘Dare To Imagine’ with producer/artist, Dave Lubben.
