Biography by Steve Huey
Dancehall superstar Sean Paul began scoring hit singles in Jamaica starting in 1996 and thereafter steadily began attracting international attention, eventual breaking into the pop mainstream in 2002 with Dutty Rock. Born Sean Paul Henriques on January 8, 1973, the multi-ethnic Paul (his parents had Portuguese, Chinese, and Jamaican blood) grew up comfortably in St. Andrew, Jamaica, his mother a renowned painter. He was a skilled athlete, excelling in swimming and especially water polo, playing for the Jamaican national team in the latter. Although his education was enough to land a prosperous career, dancehall music remained Paul's first love, particularly crafting rhythm tracks. He became a DJ after he began writing his own songs, patterning his style largely after Super Cat and finding a mentor in Don Yute; he also found contacts in several members of the reggae-pop band Third World in 1993, which helped open up business connections.
Paul released his debut single, "Baby Girl," with producer Jeremy Harding in 1996; it proved a significant success, leading to further Jamaican hits like "Nah Get No Bly (One More Try)," "Deport Them," "Excite Me," "Infiltrate," and "Hackle Mi." In 1999, Sean Paul started to make inroads to American audiences; he was first commissioned to collaborate with fellow dancehall hitmaker Mr. Vegas on a production for rapper DMX; titled "Here Comes the Boom," the song was included in director Hype Williams' film Belly. Also that year, Paul scored a Top Ten hit on the Billboard rap charts with "Hot Gal Today." Unfortunately, Paul had a very public falling out with Mr. Vegas over the packaging of the latter's remix of "Hot Gal Today"; still, it didn't slow Paul's career momentum, as he played the Summer Jam 2000 in New York City, the center of his American popularity. That fall, Paul released his first album on VP Records; the sprawling Stage One collected many of Paul's previous hit singles and compilation cuts, plus a few brand-new tracks. 2002's Dutty Rock and 2005's The Trinity were extremely successful. Both albums peaked in the Top Ten of the album chart and featured a handful of mainstream smashes.

Very good show. I had never been to a Hip-Hop/Rap concert before. Really enjoyed it.
Stood on floor you could stand anywhere you wanted was great vibes lots of people
Best show I’ve seen and I go to many ! Got to meet him this time. Was my all time goal !!!! He is the best ,,,forever a fan ❤️❤️can’t wait to see him and the Dutty crew again
Way too short for the amount of money! He sang for less than an hour, very disappointing :(
Great organization. Security was good, location was ample. Sound was great. Enjoyed my night. Wished it was longer.
Sean paul was awesome could of been louder but I'd go again
This concert was great, all about the dance hall music. Everyone was singing along and dancing, the atmosphere was fun, and energetic. Sean Paul sang some classic hits and some new stuff.
Amazing energy!!!! All the faves and then some!!! Best concert I’ve ever been too Sean Paul’s been my ringtone for 15+years and he did not disappoint Thank you!!!
Loved that Machel came out I would've given the show 3 stars if he didn't. Sean Paul came on really late and the openers were not very good for a Sean Paul concert. Plenty of local artists that could've done a better job. It was hard to hear Sean through the mic his voice wasn't clear.
