SEAN KINGSTON BIOGRAFIA

SEAN KINGSTON BIOGRAFIA

Born: February 03, 1990

A self-proclaimed product of his past, rapper Sean Kingston's history helps describe his sound. Born in Miami, FL, then raised in Kingston, Jamaica, from the age of six, he mixed more than a little dancehall and reggae into his hip-hop. The hard lyrics come from a hard life, which included incarceration, homelessness, and growing up a lot faster than he should have. His young parents didn't play teen pop or teen rap while he was being raised, so he absorbed the adult lyrics of Buju Banton, Ice Cube, and Rakim. He also lived the lyrics and landed a breaking-and-entering charge at age 11. Twenty-one days in jail, boot camp, and living in a car while his mother was incarcerated on an identity fraud rap all followed. None of it swayed the youth against hustling; it just pointed him in a different, more lucrative direction. Taking his ability to write rhymes and hooks, he started working Miami's talent show and showcase circuit hard, eventually sharing the stage with Pitbull, Ludacris, and Trick Daddy. Producer Jonathan "J.R." Rotem (Britney Spears, 50 Cent, Rihanna) caught his demo and signed the young rapper to his Beluga Heights record label right before the major-label bidding wars were to begin. The Sony imprint Epic won and introduced their new artist in the spring of 2007 with the single "Colors 2007" featuring the Game and Rick Ross. Although he sounded much older, Kingston was only 16 years old when the track landed. With his second single, "Beautiful Girls," he took a sample of Ben E. King's "Stand by Me" and twisted it into a huge hit. This more polished, smoother, and less hardcore stance suited the singer and figured heavily into his self-titled debut full-length.

Sean Kingston, cuyo nombre verdadero Kisean Anderson, nació el 3 de febrero de 1990 en Miami, Florida (Estados Unidos) a los padres de origen jamaicano. Su abuelo es un antiguo productor de Bob Marley y uno de sus tíos y un famoso cantante de reggae. Por lo tanto, es natural que Sean Kingston está avanzando hacia la canción. En 2007, grabó varias canciones con los tamaños de la música (Fergie, Natasha Bedingfield, etc.). Ese mismo año 2007 entró en contacto a través de Internet, con el productor Jonathan "JR" Rotem y le envió algunas pistas. El productor de inmediato se enamora de la música reggae, hip-hop y el pop a Sean y le propone grabar un álbum. El álbum "Sean Kingston" fue lanzado en 2008 y el single "Beautiful Girl" recibió una buena recepción del público. Este es el comienzo de una bonita carrera para el joven que en 2009 lanzó su segundo álbum, "Mañana", que incluye los mismos ingresos que el anterior.
