Chef Sean, aka Sean Christopher, has dabbled in the entertainment industry since he was an adolescent. At 12, he appeared in a movie alongside Forest Whitaker and Jada Pinkett Smith. As an actor, producer and rapper, Chef Sean is no stranger to the world of celebrity.

But on April 29, the Chef dropped his first album, “My Life”, — something he says was unlike any endeavor of his before.

“It doesn’t compare (to previous things I’ve done in music),” says Chef Sean of his debut album. “It’s a body of work, everything else has been by itself, on its own. This album is like a full machine so nothing really compares. The feeling I had when it dropped — it was built up because I put a lot into it, I’d been waiting to drop an album for a while. I don’t think they were even ready for this but I know we’re all happy with this album; I’ve heard nothing but good things about it, I’m overwhelmed — I’m happy it’s out and people are enjoying it.”

ED Magazine spoke with Chef Sean, courtesy of StripJointsMusic.com, about meeting 2Pac at 12, the lead single “Flex Off” from his album, and which musical act he would pay to go see.
