Life and career
Jay Sean (born Kamaljit Singh Jhooti; 26 March 1979) is a British singer and songwriter. He debuted in the UK's Asian Underground scene as a member of the Rishi Rich Project with "Dance with You", which reached No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart in 2003. This led to him being signed to Virgin Records and having two UK top 10 hits as a solo artist in 2004: "Eyes On You" at No. 6 and "Stolen" at #4. They were included in his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Me Against Myself’ which, though only moderately successful in the UK, sold more than two million copies across Asia and remains his most successful album to date.Alongside the Rishi Rich Project, Sean was a pioneer of Bhangra-R&B fusion, which his debut album helped popularize among the worldwide South Asian diaspora.
He eventually left Virgin in 2006 and founded his own independent label, Jayded Records. After a gap of nearly four years, he returned in 2008 with "Ride It", which reached No. 11 in the UK and topped the charts in several Eastern European countries, including Romania where it was one of the best-selling singles of the year. It was followed by hits such as "Maybe", which reached No. 7 on the Japan Hot 100, and "Tonight". They were included in his second album, ‘My Own Way’, which became his most successful album on the UK Albums Chart, reaching No. 6, and topped the UK R&B Chart. At around this time, he began increasingly incorporating electropop sounds into his R&B music.
Since the end of 2008, he has been signed to Cash Money Records. In 2009, his American debut single "Down" topped the ‘Billboard’ Hot 100, making him the first solo artist of South Asian origin and first UK urban act to top the Hot 100. It was the seventh-best selling song of 2009, having sold more than three million copies in the United States that year, eventually reaching six million sales in the United States, making him the most successful British/European male urban artist in US chart history at the time. As of 2011, it is the fifth best selling song by a British artist in the digital era. It was soon followed by another hit, "Do You Remember", which has sold more than a million copies in the US,and entered the top ten on the Hot 100, making him the first male act since Chingy in 2003 to "simultaneously appear in the Hot 100 top 10 with his first two charting singles." They were included in his American-debut album ‘All or Nothing’, which debuted at No. 37 on the US ‘Billboard’ 200 and reached No. 11 on the Japan Oricon Albums Chart. Sean has also been a featured artist on several hits including "What Happened to Us" by Australian singer Jessica Mauboy, which charted within the top 20 on the ARIA singles chart and certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association. Sean was ranked No. 35 in Billboard's Hot 100 Artists of 2009.
Sean began working on his fourth album and second with Cash Money Records, ‘Freeze Time’ in July 2010.Sean released a mixtape titled ‘The Mistress’ in September 2011, spawning a single and a music video for "Where Do We Go".
‘Freeze Time’ was scrapped due to legal issues in 2011 and Sean began working on a new, be more R&B influenced album altogether. The first official single from the album was announced to be "I'm All Yours", which features American and Latin artist Pitbull. Officially released in May 2012, the song peaked at a disappointing #85 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song's best performance was in Australia where it peaked at 13 and was certified as Gold. The second single of the album "So High", produced by DJ Afrojack, was released in October 2012. Later in the same month, both singles were included in an EP, titled ‘So High’, with "Sex 101" featuring Cash Money rapper Tyga (originally included in ‘The Mistress’) and an exclusive bonus track "Patience".
In February 2013, Jay Sean announced he would be changing the title of the album from ‘Worth It all to Neon’, and his long delayed fourth studio album was released in July 2013. Both of the album singles, "Where You Are" and "Mars" featuring American rapper Rick Ross, failed to break into the Billboard Hot 100.
In January 2014, Sean released the lead song "Take That Off" from his second mixtape ‘The Mistress II’.Alongside releasing the first single in October 2014, "Tears in the Ocean", Sean left Cash Money Records, citing that he wanted to go in a different direction artistically.On 14 November 2014, music webside Djbooth premiered the second single "All I Want". ‘The Mistress II’ was released on 18 November with a video for "All I Want" premiered hours later.
