Schooled at such esteemed learning institutions as Wolmer’s, Hillel, and Bel-Air, Sean Paul made sure he furthered his education before pursuing his musical destiny. While at school, he excelled at sports, representing his country in swimming and water polo at many international events. He went on to study hotel management at UTECH, before finding employment in a bank, “counting other people’s money!” he jokes. While he was very thankful for the privileged position his hard-earned education had furnished, the Dancehall bug had bitten Sean, and there simply was no cure.
When he was thirteen, his mother had given him a “little thirty-dollar keyboard. I remember thinking this was all I needed to make dancehall rhythms!” Sean Paul reminisces. Shabba Ranks, Super Cat, Major Worries, and a whole heap of hip-hop artists made up Sean’s musical preference as he worked his DJ apprenticeship.

After attracting attention on the mic at local block parties and barbeques, Sean Paul made use of his links with Third World band members Cat Coore, Bunny Rugs, and Carrot Jarret. They introduced him to the professional side of the business and encouraged him to exercise his talents further. Dancehall pulsing through his veins, Sean honed his craft until he came to voice his debut single, “Baby Girl,” for producer Jeremy Harding’s 2 Hard Records label in 1996. The song was a bombshell and blasted the way for many more hits. “Nah Get No Bly,” “Deport Them,” “Infiltrate,” and “Excite Me” are among the tunes which have helped establish Sean Paul as a major force in the Dancehall arena.
As the millennium closed, Sean Paul was requested to combine with the MOBO award winner, Mr. Vegas, and multi-platinum selling rapper DMX for the soundtrack of “Belly,” Hype Williams’ 1999 blockbuster movie. “Hot Gal Today,” also a combination with Mr. Vegas, went on to attract further international attention. It was voted number twelve in SPIN magazine’s Top 20 singles of the year, and left a great number of fans expecting, if not demanding, an album from Sean Paul.
Despite all the hype surrounding Sean Paul, the DJ remains with grace. “It humbles me to know that I can get through as a DJ because I had the opportunity in life to do the bank thing. Some people can’t get them life there. So me haffi give thanks for what I have, and I try not to make anyone feel negative at all, because even the slightest thing can make someone feel negative. And positivity is something that always drives me and the music I create.”
Paul has also been featured in many other singles, including chart-toppers “Baby Boy” with Beyoncé, “Breathe” with Blu Cantrell, “What About Us” by The Saturdays, “Rockabye” by Clean Bandit (featuring Paul and Anne-Marie), “Cheap Thrills” by Sia and “Fuego” by Major Lazer. “No Lie”, “Cheap Thrills”, and “Rockabye” each have more than 1 billion views on YouTube, with “Rockabye” having reached more than 2.7 billion views.

The first single on the album, “Other Side of Love”, was released to iTunes on 10 June 2013. The second single, “Entertainment 2.0”, which features 2 Chainz and Juicy J, was released on 25 June 2013. Paul released the official remix to the song on 3 September 2013 with an additional feature from Nicki Minaj.

(i.e., what is SEAN PAUL booking fee to perform at an event?)
Official booking fees for SEAN PAUL, or any other celebrity, are determined based on a number of factors and may change at any time without prior notice.
Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist’s calendar, whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the artist’s concerts, the current demand for the artist’s music, market activity, etc.
As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist’s price to increase as the artist becomes more popular or decrease when the artist becomes less popular.
Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at any time. Generally, the artist’s manager has a role in the decision to accept any particular offer from a talent buyer.
