Sean Paul

Sean Paul’s unmistakable voice, catchy rhythms and first-class production are the perfect mix for the international Grammy winner’s success. Born in Jamaica on January 9, 1973, Sean Paul Henriques launched his music career in 2002 with the success of his second studio album Dutty Rock, which entered the Billboard Hot 100 with Gimmie the Light and Get Busy. Since his international breakthrough in 2000, Sean Paul has maintained his prominence in the music industry with recent hits such as Cheap Thrills, Rockabye, No Lie and Body to date.

Career

Sean Paul attended the University of Technology in Jamaica in the hope of becoming a hotel manager, but his love of music was stronger. His music career began in the late 90s with the release of his single Baby Girl. In 2000, Sean Paul released his debut album Stage One on VP Records. To date, he has released six studio albums, the last five of which have been nominated for a Grammy.

These include Dutty Rock (2002), for which he received the Grammy for Best Reggae Album, and The Trinity (2005), which was certified platinum in Europe and by the Recording Industry Association of America. He also released Imperial Blaze (2009), Tomahawk Technique (2012) and most recently Full Frequency (2014), all of which were very well received.

Sean Paul’s hard work and dedication have earned him several Grammy and Billboard Music Award nominations over the years. His achievements include an American Music Award, MOBO Awards, Soul Train Awards, MTV Music Awards, ASCAP Rhythm and Soul Music Awards, a Source Award and a BET Award. He is the only Jamaican artist to win an American Music Award (2006) for “Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist” and the first Jamaican on the cover of Vibe Magazine. Sean Paul enjoys such accolades, but he wants to remain humble and make his fans proud.

The success of his albums and his penchant for live performances have brought him much fame. Not only was he the first Jamaican artist to perform in Kazakhstan and Madagascar, but he has also rocked stages in over 100 other countries and performed to huge audiences in some of the world’s biggest venues.

Although Sean Paul has his roots in reggae and dancehall in his home country, he is known for his numerous collaborations in genres such as EDM, soca, pop, Afrobeats and Latin, he also has an international presence. The crossover icon has a large fan base in Latin America, Japan, Europe and the USA. In 2014, his relationship with the Spanish public intensified with the collaboration with Puerto Rican reggaeton singer Farruko on the single Passion Whine and the world-famous Enrique Iglesias, who contacted Sean Paul as a partner for Bailando. The latter reached number 1 in 33 countries and the music video received millions of hits on YouTube.

Cooperation

Over the course of his career, Sean Paul has worked with numerous international and local hip-hop stars, including Busta Rhymes, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Keyshia Cole, Kelly Rowland, Juicy J, 2Chainz and Nicki Minaj. He has also worked with reggae and dancehall artists such as Damian “Junior Gong” Marley, Wayne Marshall, Ce’Cile and Tami Chynn.
