Musical Career
On July 26, 2005, Jones released his first major-label album with the male vocal quintet pop group In Essence, for BMG Records. In Essence has won a Juno award and a MuchMusic Video award.
In Essence’s first album garnered two hit singles and videos. The group won both R&B video of the Year at Much Music, and R&B recording at the Juno Awards. But despite their success, Sean, an intensely focused performer, was hearing something more in his heart and something deeper in his music, and within a year, In Essence disbanded.
In October 2008, Jones opened for Pavlov's Dog Orchestra at Tattoo Rock Parlour in Toronto. He also showcased at Opera House as a performer during Toronto Indie Music Week in September 2008.
In early 2009 Jones toured Canada with Divine Brown.
In summer 2009 Jones was featured beside Flemingdon Park rapper JB in the song "Ready or Not"
Currently he is working on his first full-length solo album that, like his show, chronicles the ebb and flow of relationships and will take listeners on a musical journey through some of their favorite classic love songs.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or career:
“If we cannot sing of faith and triumph, we will sing our despair. We will be that kind of bird. There are day owls, and there are night owls, and each is beautiful and even musical while about its business.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
