Sean Slaughter, a musician, producer, loving father and husband, was interviewed by the Journalism class last Friday. The man came in and immediately started dropping rhymes. Everyone in the class was impressed by his allusions and lyrics. Slaughter went from rhymes to his life story, which began with music. He was born in Queens, NY, and from there came a lot of his inspiration for music he would make later in life. His career started at 19, when he was living in the basement of a friend with small recording equipment right next to his bed. He named the "producing" business Slaughter Music. The production kicked off when he started making beats for the Wu-Tang Clan. After a couple years of working for them and several others, he started producing his own music and became a more independent studio. His first two albums came out on the same day, August 22, 2001, "The World Is Not Enough" and "Justice for All."
Some of his greatest accomplishments include having his album Prototype on the best selling Top 50 list on iTunes and his song "Die Daily" as a Grammy nominee. He now lives in Hampton, VA and enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters, Melody and Lyric. Over the last couple years he has branched out from music and moved into running businesses. Slaughter owns the Virginia Recording Arts Institute, Life Power Music Mentoring, and is Executive Director of YH Thomas Community Center. He was a pretty awesome guest. Give some of his music a listen and comment below what you think!
