Biography

In the spring of 2003, Jamaican Dancehall music was welcomed into American mainstream with the explosion of D.J./Singer Sean Paul's single "Get Busy." Although Dancehall music is thought to be fairly new in American eyes, it has been a deeply rooted musical genre in Jamaica for centuries. Sean Paul Henriques was born on January 8, 1973 in Kingston, Jamaica. He grew up in an upper middle class, multi-ethnic family. (His father is Portuguese/Jamaican and his mother is Chinese/Jamaican). Henriques attended prestigious private schools, and eventually entered into the College of Arts, Science, and Technology located in Hope Road where he majored in Commerce with an emphasis on Hotel Management. Rather than begin a career in Jamaica's corporate world, Sean Paul became a D.J. and songwriter. In 1996 he released his debut album, Baby Girl, which was produced by Jeremy Harding on his 2 Hard record label. This lead to further song hits in Jamaica: Nah Get no Bly (One More Try), Deport Them, Excite Me, Infiltrate, Hackle Me. In 1999, Sean Paul was introduced to the American public when he collaborated with fellow Dancehall musician Mr. Vegas on a song for rapper DMX. "Here Comes the Boom" appeared in director Hype Williams' film, Belly. Sean Paul's song, "Hot Gal Today," also became a top ten hit on the Billboard Rap Chart. At the end of 1999, Sean Paul embarked on his first tour through Europe, Japan, and the United States. By introducing traditional Jamaican Reggae with an electronic twist, Sean Paul has transformed the Dancehall music scene. As he continues his songwriting, he has also created a record label entitled Bassline Records. Sean Paul's musical influences are Major Worries, Shabba Ranks, Lt. Stitchie, and Papa Sun.
