Sean Paul und Farruko

Eagerly asked to check out a new local talent reminiscent of dancehall pioneer Super Cat, producer Jeremy Harding went down to an open mic event in Kingston, Jamaica and unbeknownst to him he would discover the future global star, Sean Paul. Connecting with Paul and offering his advice, Harding began collaborating with him on tracks such as "Baby Girl", it was just the beginning of their strong and long standing relationship as Harding took him under his wing as his manager.

Soon a buzz erupted locally as people began to talk of the future superstar. In 2000 Paul released his debut album "Stage One" through VP Records. The album would be the start of his international career as his music was well received by neighbours in the U.S.

His monumental second release "Dutty Rock" released in 2002 through Atlantic Records would be the catalyst that turned a local star into a global superstar. The album featured the hit tracks "Gimme the Light" and "Get Busy" which navigated thorough freshly fused native Jamaican dancehall with contemporary R&B.

Keeping himself busy, in 2003 featured on several tracks with big artists such as Busta Rhymes, Blu Cantrell, Beenie Man and mostly famously appeared on superstar Beyonce’s number one single “Baby Boy” which further catapulted Paul into the spotlight. His electric and energetic performances provide the perfect party atmosphere enthusing audiences across the world to dance.

In 2005 Paul released his third album eloquently titled “Trinity” which featured “We Be Burnin’”, “Give It Up To Me” (featured in the film Step Up 2) and the smash hit “Temperature” released in 2006 which became a club classic. Later that year Paul was awarded with an American Music Award for “(When You Gonna) When It Up To Me”.

Sean Paul has proved himself to be the master of crossover as throughout his career he has continued to collaborate with artists from a range of different genres including: Joss Stone, Rihanna, Enrique Iglesias, The Saturdays, Major Lazer and Simple Plan.

At the tender age of 16 Rosado had been singing and producing songs, and utilising the music and social media site MySpace to find an audience for his music. In 2007 Rosado released his first single “Sexo Fuera del Planeta” which before long gained the singer thousands of followers on numerous social media sites. Due to this online pubic appeal, Rosado became known to radio and music industry executives who utilised the singer’s talents on other artists’ records.

In 2009 came Rosado’s debut album “El Talento del Bloque” which became popular in a very short period of time largely due to the collaborative singles “Su Hija Me Gusta”, “Ella No Es Facil” and “Traime a Tu Amiga”. Shortly after came the highly popular single “Pa Romper la Discoteca” with Daddy Yankee and Yomo, which didn’t feature on the singer’s debut.

Three years later in 2012 Rosado returned with his sophomore release “TMPR” The Most Powerful Rookie”. The album had five hit singles including the first “Feel the Rhythm” and glorified Farruko’s reputation as a talented pop and reggaeton singer. The album was ultimately nominated for a Latin Grammy the same year. Rosado’s subsequent album “Farruka Presenta los Menores” (2014) featuring a host of collaborations, expands the musician’s genre appeal with fusions into electro, neo-soul and funk.
