About Sean Paul

SEAN PAUL (Sean Paul Ryan Francis Henriques) was born to parents Garth and Frances, both of whom were talented athletes. His mother is a well-known painter. Many members of his family are swimmers. His grandfather was on the first Jamaican men's national water polo team. His father also played water polo for the team in the 1960s, and competed in long-distance swimming, while Sean Paul's mother was a backstroke swimmer. Sean Paul played for the national water polo team from the age of 13 to 21, when he gave up the sport in order to launch his musical career. He attended Wolmer's Boys' School and the College of Arts, Science, and Technology, now known as the University of Technology, where he was trained in commerce with an aim of pursuing an occupation in hotel management.

Sean Paul first sparked the world in 2002 with his breakout hit, "Gimme The Light," and the fire has been burning brightly ever since. Hot on the heels of his multi-platinum, Grammy-winning classic album, he dropped the 2005 RIAA platinum smash The Trinity. That album led off with the Top 10 single "We Be Burnin'," followed by the #1 smash "Temperature."
He has already sold more than 10 million albums worldwide, and has become the most successful Jamaican artist of all time on the U.S. charts - spurred by a trio of #1 pop singles, and five top ten hits. But despite his scorching track record, Sean Paul is taking nothing for granted.

Sean has a long history of recording hit duets - including the remix of Estelle's "Come on Over," preceded by "Give It Up To Me" with Keyshia Cole, "Break It Off" with Rihanna, 'Baby Boy" with Beyonce, Give It to You Girl with Eve and recently ‘’Come on to me’’ with Major Lazor. He has also collaborated with hip-hop stars like 50 Cent, The Clipse, and Busta Rhymes in the past, but Sean Paul’s main emphasis is on his own sound.
