HIFI Sean is a true musical shapeshifter — a DJ, producer, songwriter, and sonic visionary whose career has spanned everything from indie rock to psychedelic soul.

He first found fame as the frontman of The Soup Dragons, who broke through in Europe in 1990 with I’m Free, their euphoric indie-dance take on the Rolling Stones classic. Their evolution toward a more dance-driven sound led to Divine Thing, a Top 40 hit on the U.S. Billboard chart in 1992. After the band disbanded in 1995, Sean Dickson faced personal challenges, including coming out as gay — an emotional turning point that ultimately led to reinvention.

He resurfaced with The High Fidelity and, drawing on his early DJ roots, re-emerged as HiFi Sean — crafting bold, genre-blending solo work. His 2016 album Ft. featured a dazzling range of collaborators including Crystal Waters, Yoko Ono, Dave Ball, and Billie Ray Martin — and marked the start of his creative partnership with the remarkable David McAlmont.

That collaboration blossomed, leading to their joint debut album Happy Ending in 2023 — and most recently, the ambitious Daylight and Twilight albums, a radiant mix of gospel, house, soul, and psychedelia.

HiFi Sean’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and unapologetic creativity — and he tells it all with the insight of someone who’s lived through the highs and lows, and come out the other side a happily married gay man and a deeply original artist.
