Sean Forbes, a 28-year-old deaf rapper and RIT/NTID alumnus, recently signed a contract with major record label The Bass Brothers – the label that discovered famous rapper Marshall “Eminem” Mathers.

Born in Rochester, Mich., Forbes was raised in Farmington Hills, a suburb of Detroit. Both of his parents were musicians, in addition to his mother working as vice president at her father’s trucking company, and Forbes’ father owning and managing a number of restaurants in the area.
