Artist Biography Available in: Sean Shibe (born 1992) is a classical and electric guitarist from Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. He is of English and Japanese ancestry. He studied at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (and was the youngest student to enter the then Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama) and with Italian guitarist Paolo Pegora. He is frequently referred to as the foremost guitarist of his generation; his debut album described as "not just great guitar playing... the best had ever heard". by BBC Music Magazine and "the best solo guitar disc I've heard" by The Arts Desk.
Shibe also plays electric guitar, as on his 2018 album softLOUD, on which he performs Steve Reich's Electric Counterpoint, as well as electric guitar arrangements of works by David Lang and Julia Wolfe. Sean Shibe also performs Georges Lentz's epic, hour-long Ingwe for solo electric guitar.
Shibe also plays renaissance lute, performing 16th Century French repertoire at Baroque at the Edge, LSO St. Lukes.
