Sean Altman (born May 9, 1961) is an American singer and songwriter.

He is the founder and former lead singer (tenor) of the Rockapella musical group, as well as the earliest a cappella movement.

He was a member of Rockapella from its inception in 1986 to its 1997 departure in 1997 to embark on a solo career. Altman, a founding member of Rockapella, is best known for his appearance on the PBS children's geography game show Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? at the time his band performed as the house vocal band and comedy troupe at the time.

The show's theme song, written by Altman and his childhood friend, David Yazbek, is one of the best known television themes in history.

During Altman's 11-year tenure, Rockapella released seven albums in Japan and two in the United States. Altman has released three solo albums on Chow Fun Records: seanDEMOnium (1997), alt.mania (2002), and Losing Streak (2005).

Jewmongous, Altman's solo comedy song act, released the debut album Taller Than Jesus (Chow Fun Records), about which The Washington Post wrote "Witty and brashly mocked "the promise of satiric gems." His cappella band The GrooveBarbers has released two albums: Glory (2005) and Guts (2010), as well as his defunct comedy song pair What I Like About Jew, which was released in 2006.

"Save The Ocean" and "You Ought To Be Saving Water" were written and recorded by Altman for the popular Schoolhouse Rock album. Barry Carl and Elliott Kerman, ex-Rockapella members, wrote and recorded "Save The Ocean" and "You Ought To Be Saving Water." Carmen Sandiego appeared on television programs and has written songs for the television show "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?"

", "Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego?

Early life

Altman grew up in the Bronx's Riverdale neighborhood. His musical ability was evident early on, as he appeared in school musicals (Pippin, Bye Birdie, Gypsy) and claims to have charmed female classmates with "hallway serenades." David Yazbek as Moon Pudding, a Simon & Garfunkel-styled teen duo, has turned professional at age seventeen. Altman studied political science at Brown University but concentrated on singing college cappella with The High Jinks and fronting Blind Dates, his latest wave rock band that has produced two national college radio hits, "Don't" and "Second Hand." Since graduating from Brown in 1984, Altman remained with Blind Dates, heading from Providence to New York City in the hopes of a record sale that never came true. The company dissolved in 1987, just as Rockapella's career began.

Personal life

Altman married operatic soprano Inna Dukachach in 2003. They live in Harlem, New York City. Ruby, their daughter who was born in November 2008, has a daughter named Ruby.

Solo career

In April 1997, Altman left Rockapella to concentrate on his burgeoning solo career as a singer-songwriter. "Imagine Dion meeting Marshall Crenshaw at the Beatles' house," the Kinks, Beach Boys, Four Seasons, and Persuasions all dropped by for a song swap, with Michael Crenshaw on his debut CD, seanDEMOnium, about which the Philadelphia Daily News wrote. The terms have a cynical edge, but what really grabs you is his neo-doowop vocals playing off incredibly hook-friendly tunes. Altman formed a backup band and appeared in New York City rock clubs for two years, winning accolades for his live performances since launching seanDEMOnium. "Understandably gifted performer... a power-pop mensch and an aspiring teenage cult leader," the Village Voice described him. In 2002, he released alt.mania, his second CD of original music, and divorcé Altman writes a tumultuous, musically diverse collection of romantic misadventures.

Altman is the only three-time winner of the Contemporary A Cappella Society's "Original Song of the Year" award, as well as a "Best Male Vocalist" award winner. In The GrooveBarbers, he currently records and performs a cappella with several other ex-Rockapella members (featured as The Astelins in TV commercials for Astelin nasal spray), bittersweet pop songs as a solo performer, and comedy songs in Jewmongous. He has performed and recorded cappella albums for the bands Minimum Wage and Kol Zimra. In the 2005 International Acoustic Music Awards, Altman was named "Best Male Artist" and a 2005 Kerrville New Folk finalist. He is a member of The Loser's Lounge tribute series in New York and serenades hospital residents as a volunteer for Musicians On Call. Altman's album "MOT: Members of The Tribe" was released in June 2011. Jordan B. Gorfinkel appeared in "MOT: Members of The Tribe." The song depicts the differences in different observance levels within Judaism. It promotes tolerance and respect.
