Sean Solomon thought he had it all figured out. Animating witty and eye-catching cartoons, having the opportunity to write and develop pilots that were pitched to major TV networks and creating music videos for Run The Jewels, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and Odd Future. They were not only incredible creative opportunities but had become a sustainable career path. Always a musician too, he had dedicated his twenties to the Sub Pop-signed trio Moaning but when they parted ways, diving head-first into animation just made sense. He thought he was satisfied but the musical side of his creative brain just kept buzzing.
On a whim he wrote a song called “Car Crash” and animated a video to go alongside it. He shared the clip online in late 2024 and the song found an unexpectedly huge audience, with millions of views across platforms.
