Sean Beaver

Electric Turtle Dreams

Sean Beaver is an independent techno and electronic Indigenous artist who’s based out of Calgary, Alberta, and is originally from the Driftpile First Nation in northern Alberta and of Cree descent. With a sound like a cross between Teenage Mutants, Chemical Brothers, and Richie Hawtin, Sean has been creating and producing music since 1993, incorporating Indigenous heritage into the music, with elements of pow wow drums and percussion. Sober since 2006, using music as a creative outlet, with four albums released, and another two more albums set to release in 2021, Sean’s first recorded single was released in 1996 with global distribution. Sean was nominated for the Best Instrumental Album at the Indigenous Music Awards in 2015, and 2017, winning in 2015. Sean continues to work in radio in Calgary, perform across North America and work on new, original music every chance he gets.
