Sean Paul Francis Henriques (born 9 January 1973) is a Jamaican hip hop recording artist and producer. Most of his albums have been nominated for the Grammy's Best Reggae Album, with Dutty Rock winning the award. His singles "Get Busy" and "Temperature" topped charts in the United States. Sean Paul has also been featured in many other singles including chart-toppers "Baby Boy" by Beyoncé, "What About Us" by The Saturdays, and "Rockabye" by Clean Bandit.

Personal life

Sean Paul was born in Kingston, Jamaica, to parents Garth and Frances. His mother is a painter.[1][2] His paternal grandfather emigrated from Portugal and his paternal grandmother was Afro-Jamaican; his mother is of English and Chinese-Jamaican descent. [3][4] Sean Paul was raised as a Catholic.[5] Many members of his family are swimmers. His grandfather was on the first Jamaican men's national water polo team.[citation needed] His father also played water polo for the team in the 1960s, and competed in long-distance swimming, while Paul's mother was a butterfly swimmer.[3] 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.[citation needed] 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 swimming.[citation needed]

In 2012, Paul married his longtime girlfriend Jodi Stewart, a Jamaican TV host.[6][7] In August 2016, it was announced that the couple was expecting their first child.[8] On 26 February 2017, Sean Paul announced the birth of his son, Levi Blaze.[9]

Paul has suggested that Jamaican musicians making use of "hardcore patois", a mixture of English with several languages spoken in Jamaica, is a language barrier preventing them from becoming successful in the United States and the United Kingdom.[10]

Career

1994–2000: Stage One

Main article: Stage One

Manager and producer Jeremy Harding heard about Sean Paul[when?] when Harding's brother told him about seeing someone at a small open mic event in Kingston who sounded a lot like the dancehall DJ and toaster Super Cat.[11] Harding eventually met the singer when Paul came by his studio to ask for some advice. During the meeting Paul recorded a vocal over Harding's rhythm track and in the process created the song "Baby Girl".[11] Paul began hanging out at the studio every day, and the pair collaborated on several more tracks. When they recorded "Infiltrate" they decided they had something good enough to get on the radio. As Sean Paul started to attract local attention, Harding began looking after his affairs. He later told HitQuarters that his support of Paul's fledgling career initially led him assuming the roles of "DJ, manager, road manager and security guard."[11] Paul made a cameo appearance in the 1998 film Belly on stage performing. He made a successful collaboration with DMX and Mr. Vegas, "Top Shotter", to the soundtrack of the film. In 2000, Paul released his debut album, Stage One with VP Records.

The album Dutty Rock won the Reggae Album of the year at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards in 2004. "Get Busy" was also nominated for best Rap Song in that year. Simultaneously, Sean Paul was heard on Beyoncé's U.S. #1 single "Baby Boy" and Blu Cantrell's "Breathe", a chart hit in Europe. Both helped to push his reputation further still in the United States. He appeared on Punk'd, 106 & Park, Sean Paul Respect, Making the Video ("Get Busy", "Gimme the Light", and "Like Glue") and his music videos have been broadcast on MTV and BET.

He was nominated for four awards at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards, including male artist of the year, rap artist of the year, hot 100 single of the year, and pop single of the year for "Temperature".[12] He also won an American Music Award for "Give It Up to Me" beating Kanye West and Nick Lachey who were also nominated for the award.
