Sean Paul Performs Live At Lehman Center

Reggae fans are expected to storm the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts, located at 250 Bedford Park Boulevard West in the Bronx, in a bid to get tickets for Lehman’s engagement of Jamaican superstar, Grammy Award-winning SEAN PAUL, who is expected to appear complete with band and dancers to blow the venue off the map when the superstar delivers what is anticipated to be an explosive show on Saturday, November 8th at 8:00 p.m.

Sean Paul is a definite money maker since his breakthrough CD “Dutty Rock” won the 2002 Grammy for Best Reggae Album, grossing six-million dollars. This hit brought global popularity to Jamaican dancehall music with Sean following up with such smash hits as “Gimme the Light,” “Get Busy” and “Like Glue.” Not to be outdone he followed his success with duets, such as “Baby Boy” (with Beyoncé), “I’m Still in Love with You” (with Sasha) and “Break It Off” (with Rihanna) making Sean Paul the most successful Jamaican artist of all time on the U.S. charts, which includes three #1 singles, five Top Ten hits, and eight chart entries over two worldwide, multi-platinum albums.

He was even the first reggae artist to be on the cover of Vibe Magazine.

Sean Paul appeals to a diverse audience pulling in large numbers of Latins as well as Caribbean and American fans. To prove he loves the diversity, Sean released a Spanish version of “Punkie.” Since then, the Spanish-language dancehall hybrid known as reggaetón has become muy caliente on urban radio. Sean admits that he views reggaeton as the cousin of reggae music. In proof of that he teamed up with well known Latin artist Daddy Yankee for a track on “Trinity.” “I have been on tour all over the world to support the “Trinity” album. I have gone to Tunisia, Malta, Sweden, Poland and Russia.

Right now, however, I’m finishing up work on my next CD. It will be out soon,” said the talented musician.

An award winner, Sean has racked up numerous prestigious awards among them nominations in the Best Male Rap Solo Performance and Best New Artist categories. He won MTV Europe's Best New Artist Award. He also garnered nominations for the MTV Video Music Award and American Music Award. He received acclaim via ASCAP/PRS in the categories of pop, R&B, hip-hop, rap, and reggae, and well as earned Source, MOBO, Juno, Much Music, and International Reggae and World Music awards.

When asked had he every performed in the Bronx before, Sean Paul did state he had played a few clubs in the Bronx back in the day but had never done a full show like the spectacular he is planning for Lehman Center for the Performing Arts.

“In fact, I’m looking forward to playing a full 90 minute show complete with band and dancers at Lehman. I’m excited to show my Bronx fans all my love.”
