Sean recently shared in a video message released to social media that he will be making his debut as an author this fall and in the video he can be seen gushing over a project that he claims took “years in the making.”
“I’m excited about a lot of things dropping this year but aside from the music, it’s another project that’s been years in the making and it’s finally time.”
In the announcement, he went on to add…
“Anyone who knows me since I signed my record deal knows if you look at my old YouTubes I’ve always been about speaking from the heart, following your intuition and checking in with yourself mentally because that’s how I was raised. That’s the upbringing that was surrounding me with my family. It was a lot of elevated thinkers. They’d give me gems and these books from authors Deepak Chopra, Sadhguru, bell hooks, and others that I eventually read. If it wasn’t for them lessons and methods that I applied to my life, I fasho wouldn’t be here today, period.”
Following an 2022 appearance on Jay Shetty’s podcast, ‘On Purpose With Jay Shetty’, Sean credited the host as the person who pushed him towards writing the book.
“He was like, ‘Bro you gotta write a book. It’s a lot of people that you come from where you come from that don’t know how to get from point A to point B [and] look like you. They know they’re meant for more, just don’t know where to start.’ So, I wrote my first book.”
The ‘I Decided’ rapper concluded with…
“I took all the lessons I learned, all the philosophies mixed with real-life experiences and condensed what works for me into these five strategies that really will teach you what success mean to you and show you what your purpose is if you don’t already know and show you how to find inner peace through all the turbulence of life.”
The book is set to be released this fall on October 8th. E-book and audiobook versions will be available upon release. Sean’s next album is also set to drop later this year and it’ll be his first since 2020’s Detroit 2.
2024 has been an eventful year for ‘Sean Don’. His current single “Precision” has eclipsed over 3 million Spotify streams and he also recently performed on one of the most recognizable stages in music today, teaming up with NPR for a special Tiny Desk performance.
