With a career spanning seven studio albums, Sean Paul has propelled the dancehall genre to international stardom, from its roots in Kingston, Jamaica, to topping charts worldwide. Notably, he is the first Jamaican artist to perform in countries such as Uzbekistan and Burkina Faso.

The tour announcement follows Sean Paul’s recent successful tour dates across New Zealand and Australia at the beginning of 2024. Additionally, he released the music video for his latest track, “Greatest (Dutty Money Riddim),” last week.

Veteran dancehall artist Sean Paul is gearing up for an epic United States tour set to kick off on May 2 in Orlando, Florida.

Other stops include Miami, Atlanta, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Houston.

“I haven’t done a full tour like this in forever so I’ve been looking forward to it. I’ve been gearing up with the energy. I’ve been trying to keep faith and keep the positive vibes,” Sean Paul told PEOPLE Magazine. “My music is about energy. It’s about feeling good in life and feeling your life. And so I hope that I could just get one or two like yourself to come and feel life together.”

Drawing inspiration from his hit song “Greatest,” Sean Paul plans to deliver a concert experience that’ll have everyone “bouncing around” with joy. The tour will culminate on June 16 in Charlotte, N.C.

“It’s time to feel life when you hear my music. Just fun, the fun stuff. I think that there’s enough hard to deal with — things in life that you do get to put on a back burner when you come to my concert,” he said.

To prepare for the tour, the “She Doesn’t Mind” performer says he mostly spends his days playing basketball and in the studio — and he always makes time for his kids. He and his wife Jodi are parents to two children: son Levi Blaze, 7, and daughter Remi Leigh, 4½.

Perfect timing for Sean Paul

Just last week, Sean Paul’s third studio album, “The Trinity,” clinched Double Platinum status in the United States, as confirmed by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

The album attained the impressive milestone of 2 million units sold through a combination of sales and streaming on Thursday, March 28.

This latest feat adds to the accolades of the 18-track album, which initially achieved Platinum status a mere five months after its debut in September 2005. It follows the success of Paul’s previous platinum-selling album, “Dutty Rock,” which currently boasts a Triple Platinum certification in the US.

Sean Paul Reveals He Recorded 'Temperature' with Invisalign In: 'Maybe That Was the Magic' (Exclusive)

The "No Lie" singer will kick off his Greatest Tour on May 2 in Orlando, Fla.

Get ready, music lovers! Sean Paul is back and he's turning up the temperature.

Speaking to PEOPLE about his upcoming Greatest Tour , the Jamaican singer and producer opened up about gearing up to set out on the road, life at home with his two kids and the secret behind his hit song "Temperature."

"I haven't done a full tour like this in forever so I've been looking forward to it. I've been gearing up with the energy. I've been trying to keep faith and keep the positive vibes," Paul, 51, tells PEOPLE. "My music is about energy. It's about feeling good in life and feeling your life. And so I hope that I could just get one or two like yourself to come and feel life together."

Based of his song "Greatest," Paul plans to deliver a show full of "energy" and wants everyone to be "bouncing around." The tour will kick off on May 2 in Orlando, Fla., and will wrap on June 16 in Charlotte, N.C.

"It's time to feel life when you hear my music. Just fun, the fun stuff. I think that there's enough hard to deal with — things in life that you do get to put on a back burner when you come to my concert," he says.

Next year, Paul will celebrate the 20th anniversary of his hit song "Temperature" — and fans can bet he'll be bringing that banger on tour. Reflecting on its making, the singer-songwriter said he couldn't resist the beat when he first heard it in the studio. When he recorded it, he had a secret weapon — and he may need to bring it back.

"Back then, I was wearing retainers, those Invisalign-type things. So I did record the song with it in. Maybe I should try that again. Maybe that was the magic," he jokes.

He continues, "Having the Invisalign in and singing the lyrics. It's something I couldn't plan for. No way. As I've said to other people before, for every one song you might hear from me, I have about 20, 25 songs that you probably didn't hear. And maybe they didn't work, or they weren't good enough to come out. But the point is, it's a work in progress. And so you never know which one is going to be the top one."

To prepare for the tour, the "She Doesn't Mind" performer says he mostly spends his days playing basketball and in the studio — and he always makes time for his kids. He and his wife Jodi are parents to two children: son Levi Blaze, 7, and daughter Remi Leigh, 4½.

"To me, family life is important also. So spending time with them now, with my kids and my wife now, before I'm gone for six weeks, is an important thing as well. It's a delicate balance," he says of his family, who will not be joining him on tour because the kids are in school.

As a father, Paul enjoys getting to teach them what he feels is "important in life."

Related: Sean Paul Reveals He's Not Actually Saying His Name on His Songs

"As much knowledge as I can give to them from my experiences, from what I've learned, is an important thing. It's a real important stage as, after a certain age, their personality is developed to the point where they're going to be more oriented in that direction for the rest of their life. So that's pretty cool," he says. "They're just beautiful. They remind me of myself. And it's an awesome feeling being a dad. I wouldn't trade it for the world, honestly."

Back in the day, Paul couldn't go on tour without his PlayStation. Now, he's more focused on bettering himself.

"When I'm on tour a lot, I go to this app on my phone. It keeps your brain moving. It's like exercise for your brain. I think it's called Impulse . It gives you little math questions and little puzzles to do. It kind of keeps you on your toes mentally," he says.

He continues, "I definitely travel with a bag full of my vitamins. I take all the mushrooms. Not shrooms, mushrooms. So stuff for my health is important on tour, especially because you're in a different city every day, different things coming at you."

Sean Paul helped bring dancehall to the masses and he's doing it again with new tour

It has been 21 years since Sean Paul’s dancehall anthem “Get Busy” topped the Billboard Hot 100 and introduced new audiences to his Jamaican genres

LOS ANGELES -- It has been 21 years since Sean Paul's dancehall anthem “Get Busy” topped the Billboard Hot 100 — which means “Get Busy” is finally old enough to hear “Get Busy” at the club.

“It's changed for me now," Sean Paul told The Associated Press over Zoom from his studio in Jamaica, reflecting on the song's legacy. “Because when I say, ‘Get busy,’ I'm telling the kids to do their homework or clean stuff up.”

In the years since Paul helped introduce dancehall riddims and reggae to new audiences, he's released six ambitious albums, including two straight out of the coronavirus pandemic: 2021's “Live n Livin” and 2022's “Scorcha.” He's become a father and a devoted husband. (The “Jodi” in the “Get Busy” lyric “Shake dat ting, yo, Donna Donna / Jodi and Rebecca”? That's his wife.) And his ambition to make joyful, danceable music has never wavered.

“It's a timeless piece for me,” he says of “Get Busy.” “Every time I try to do a song, I try to put the same butterflies that I had in my belly when I was flirting with the first girl on the first dance floor I went to. It's just a feeling.”

That translates to his goal of bringing positivity to the masses.

“I have a lot of help with the riddim tracks, the genre itself is very infectious,” he says. “It gives you joy.”

His dedication comes from life experience.

“I had a lot of problems, as most teenagers do, trying to find themselves, trying to understand what life’s about. You know, my father was in prison. It was a single mom situation, and she was struggling to make sure that we were conscious beings,” he says.

Music was the release.

Now, he's taking that energy on a 22-date U.S. run dubbed the “Greatest Tour,” kicking off May 2 at House of Blues in Orlando, Florida, and ending June 16 at the Fillmore in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“Why am I doing it now? I feel that the people are ready for me again,” Paul says.

“I did some work with some reggaetón acts last year,” he adds, referencing new dancefloor hits, including the massive “Niña Bonita” with Feid and “Dem Time Deh” with Colombian singer Manuel Turizo.

He's also released a few solo singles, including the infectious “Greatest,” and promises more conscious songs in the future — thematically not unlike 2016's “Never Give Up.”

“There’s a lot of struggles here in Jamaica as well as it being, you know, a very beautiful place. But we do have our struggles that we have to deal with,” he says. “A lot of people don’t know me for that type of material, but, you know, it’s as important in my career."

At his shows, fans will get a little taste of everything. But “good vibes,” mostly, he says: “I think people feel the fun from me and it bounces back and forth."

Sean Paul - Greatest Tour 2024

Artist Information

Sean Paul's back, and he's about to bring the heat this summer. The Jamaican dancehall superstar first sparked the world in 2002 with his breakout hit, "Gimme The Light," and the fire has been burning brightly ever since. Hot on the heels of his multi-platinum, Grammy-winning classic album, Dutty Rock, he dropped the 2005 RIAA platinum smash The Trinity. That album led off with the Top 10 single "We Be Burnin'," followed by the #1 smash "Temperature." Now Sean Paul is stoking the flames once more with his highly anticipated fourth album, Imperial Blaze.

The Kingston-born rhyme slinger has already sold more than 10 million albums worldwide, and has become the most successful Jamaican artist of all time on the U.S. charts - spurred by a trio of #1 pop singles, and five top ten hits. But despite his scorching track record, Sean Paul is taking nothing for granted. "Imperial Blaze is like the king's fire," says the keeper of dancehall's flame. "It's all about going hard and keeping it hot." Case in point: the album's infectious lead single, "So Fine," which blends irresistible harmonies and rapid-fire lyrics with a futuristic backdrop of digital percussion.

A lot of artists talk about "staying on the grind," but few work harder than Sean Paul. He has done more than any other dancehall artist to bring the hardcore sound of Kingston to new audiences around the world. Since his prophetically titled 2000 debut, Stage One, Sean Paul has proven time and again that modern Jamaican reggae can be a viable genre in the international music market. But the explosive energy of Imperial Blaze indicates that he's only getting started.

"In this business, they say you're only as good as your last hit," says the man who beat out Kanye West and Nick Lachey to win the American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist in 2006. "They say you've got to prove yourself all over again every time you come back, so here we come."

More than just proving Sean's staying power, Imperial Blaze represents his evolution from a Jamaican crossover star into a bona fide pop hitmaker with a rare gift for bringing cutting-edge sounds to an international following. "My first album was mainly a compilation of songs that were out in the dancehall," he explains. "On the second album we added a few special ones, and with The Trinity we did even more exclusive songs. But now with Imperial Blaze, most of them were recorded specially for this album. It's all about my growth as an artist."

One thing that hasn't changed is Sean's determination to showcase the talents of Jamaica's hottest young producers. "We have worked with other producers in the past," he says. "I have no problem working with any big hip-hop or dance music producer who wants me to spit on their track. But I'm not trying to ride on anybody else's genre. When it comes to my album, you're gonna hear the new kids from Jamaica." The production credits on Imperial Blaze read like a who?s who of dancehall trackmasters, from Don Corleone to Craig "Leftside" Parkes (son of legendary Jamaican bandleader Lloyd Parkes), to Jeremy Harding (who doubles as Sean's manager), to Arif Cooper (son of Ibo Cooper from the famed reggae band Third World) to Delano of Renaissance Disco and even Sean's own brother, Jazon "Jigzagula" Henriques of Coppershot Sound. And for the first time, Sean himself produced a track on the album entitled "I Know You Like It." But nearly half the album's 19 tracks were produced by the 19-year old Stephen "Di Genius" McGregor, whose Big Ship/Di Genius Records label has dominated the dancehall scene for the past year.

"I first met Stephen when he was like eight years old and I was in my 20s," Sean reveals. "His father Freddie McGregor is a king of reggae music, so Stephen was born into this. Now he's running the place, and the chemistry we have is something special. When you find someone who gets you as an artist, you can really push yourself and take it to a different place."

The songwriting on Imperial Blaze represents a giant leap forward in Sean Paul's artistry. "There's plenty of party tracks, but we're not just singing about the same old thing," he explains. High-energy cuts like "Lace It" on McGregor's "Daybreak" riddim are already sparking the worldwide dancehall circuit, but other cuts find Sean in a more reflective mode. "My music has reached the point where it's expanding," he says. "I'm talking about relationships and different things we all go through in life." Not only has the subject matter evolved, but vocally Sean's experimenting with different melodies and harmonies to create a richer new sound. Sean wrote a tribute to his mother, entitled "Straight From My Heart," for her birthday, and the depth of his emotions can be heard in every line. "That felt so good it should have been the first song I ever recorded," says Sean. "Music is supposed to be for celebration, and who better to celebrate than the woman who gave me life?" The haunting hook from "Hold My Hand" represents another artistic breakthrough, what may be his first-ever dancehall ballad. While Sean has a long history of recording hit duets - including the recent remix of Estelle's "Come on Over," preceded by "Give It Up To Me" with Keyshia Cole, "Break It Off" with Rihanna, 'Baby Boy" with Beyonce, and Give It to You Girl with Eve the new album does not rely on guest appearances. I always think its funny when people ask, Whos on your new album? says Sean with a grin. Its my album, you know?

Although he has collaborated with hip-hop stars like 50 Cent, The Clipse, and Busta Rhymes in the past, Sean Pauls main emphasis is on his own sound. Dancehall is the most underground music in the world and our artists are most misrepresented. But were gonna do it star. Were gonna show people. And even though weve done it time and time again, some people still act like they dont want to give reggae music a try. But this music is big in all corners now. So all Im saying is show some respect. After tasting fame and fortune, Sean Paul is more concerned than ever with his musical legacy. When I look back on some great artists over the years, he reflects, you look at some man like Bob Marley and even Shabba Ranks and Super Cat. When you check back over their career, you see all that they accomplished and say, Yo what a work them do! Them thing deh really make you wanna enjoy this time while you have it just make the most of it while the sun is shining. Do as much as we can. As I have said before, there are many types of dancehall, Sean Paul emphasizes. We have music that can express everything that a human being can feel, more time in a raw way and sometimes in a very soft and seductive way. Thats why I love this art form. And Im ready to do it again, star. Were coming with something original. It have to sound fresh and new. Dont sound like youre copying over and over. Sound like the next thing. Watch we!

Jamaican artist Sean Paul prepares to kick off US tour

By Africanews

21 years since topping the Billboard Hot 100, Jamaican artist Sean Paul is getting ready for a 22-date tour across the United States, beginning on May 2.

His dancehall anthem 'Get Busy' topped the charts all the way back in 2003, introducing dancehall riddims and reggae to new audiences. 

Since then, the artist has released six ambitious albums, and has become a husband and father. 

Reflecting on his hit song, Paul says, "I guess it's changed for me now, because when I say 'Get Busy' it's like, I'm telling the kids to do their homework or clean stuff up, right?"

He believes 'Get Busy' is still a classic though. 

"It's a timeless piece for me in terms of, you know, every time I try to do a song, I try to put, you know, the same butterflies that I had in my belly when I was flirting with the first girl on the [first] dance floor," he says.

The artist is now getting ready to kick off his US tour dubbed the "Greatest Tour", which will begin in Orlando, Florida and end in Charlotte, North Carolina. 

"Why I'm doing it now?" says Paul. "Kind of just, you know, feeling that the people are ready for me again. You know, I did some work with some reggaeton acts last year, and a lot more awareness is becoming, the thing with my career right now again."

The tour will focus on "good vibes" the artist says. “I think people feel the fun from me and it bounces back and forth."

Sean Paul helped bring dancehall to the masses. With a new tour, he’s ready to do it all over again

Speaking from his studio in Kingston, Jamaica, Sean Paul discusses the importance of his dancehall track “Get Busy,” 21 years since it topped the Billboard Hot 100. (April 5)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It has been 21 years since Sean Paul’s dancehall anthem “Get Busy” topped the Billboard Hot 100 — which means “Get Busy” is finally old enough to hear “Get Busy” at the club.

“It’s changed for me now,” Sean Paul told The Associated Press over Zoom from his studio in Jamaica, reflecting on the song’s legacy. “Because when I say, ‘Get busy,’ I’m telling the kids to do their homework or clean stuff up.”

In the years since Paul helped introduce dancehall riddims and reggae to new audiences, he’s released six ambitious albums, including two straight out of the coronavirus pandemic: 2021’s “Live n Livin” and 2022’s “Scorcha.” He’s become a father and a devoted husband. (The “Jodi” in the “Get Busy” lyric “Shake dat ting, yo, Donna Donna / Jodi and Rebecca”? That’s his wife.) And his ambition to make joyful, danceable music has never wavered.

“It’s a timeless piece for me,” he says of “Get Busy.” “Every time I try to do a song, I try to put the same butterflies that I had in my belly when I was flirting with the first girl on the first dance floor I went to. It’s just a feeling.”

That translates to his goal of bringing positivity to the masses.

“I have a lot of help with the riddim tracks, the genre itself is very infectious,” he says. “It gives you joy.”

His dedication comes from life experience.

“I had a lot of problems, as most teenagers do, trying to find themselves, trying to understand what life’s about. You know, my father was in prison. It was a single mom situation, and she was struggling to make sure that we were conscious beings,” he says.

Music was the release.

Now, he’s taking that energy on a 22-date U.S. run dubbed the “Greatest Tour,” kicking off May 2 at House of Blues in Orlando, Florida, and ending June 16 at the Fillmore in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“Why am I doing it now? I feel that the people are ready for me again,” Paul says.

“I did some work with some reggaetón acts last year,” he adds, referencing new dancefloor hits, including the massive “Niña Bonita” with Feid and “Dem Time Deh” with Colombian singer Manuel Turizo .

He’s also released a few solo singles, including the infectious “Greatest,” and promises more conscious songs in the future — thematically not unlike 2016’s “Never Give Up.”

“There’s a lot of struggles here in Jamaica as well as it being, you know, a very beautiful place. But we do have our struggles that we have to deal with,” he says. “A lot of people don’t know me for that type of material, but, you know, it’s as important in my career.”

At his shows, fans will get a little taste of everything. But “good vibes,” mostly, he says: “I think people feel the fun from me and it bounces back and forth.”
