Advanced EMT Sean - "The Band"

“Years later, the fellow I was telling you about that I actually knew personally reached out to me, because he had gotten word that I had responded in and helped out at the scene. To be fair, I helped extricate, I took some vital signs – you know this was a giant team effort.” – Advanced EMT Sean

It’s important for first responders to have an outlet outside of their job that allows them to decompress and take care of their physical and mental well-being. For Advanced EMT Sean, that outlet is music, and his love of it predates his 10-year career as a first responder. Separate, but important parts of his life, his music and EMT careers unexpectedly collide when he arrives on the scene of a mass casualty incident involving a van wreck with 11 potential patients – a few of whom he's surprised to find he recognizes.

Join former firefighter/paramedic and host Phil Klein as he sits down in studio with Sean, who also serves as the lead singer and lead guitarist for the Georgia-native band Soniq Armada. Sean shares how he got his start as a first responder and identifies the parallels he finds between his work in music and as an Advanced EMT.

Self-described as mixing “the brutal elements of death and black metal with industrial synth and atmosphere,” you can learn more about Sean's band, Soniq Armada, by visiting their Facebook, Soniq Armada | Facebook, or catching them live at their next performance on July 15, 2022 at Reno’s Chop Shop in Dallas, TX!
