Jay Sean We Got Our Eyes On You!
I noticed him first time on an MTV show where his hit single 'Stolen' featuring our Bollywood babe Bipasha Basu was being played. I found him really cute, a Desi munda singing, dancing and with all that different kind of a rhythm to his music, it was definitely just the kind I was looking for in the year 2005. A charming and hot looking guy with coolest girl in the town and some tantalizing music. Only later did I realize that Jay Sean is the man, who was the whole mastermind behind redefining urban music.
Me against myself, this was the name of his first album, which featured other favorites like Eyes On You and Dance With Me, featuring Juggy D too. Little did I realize that I'll be so hooked on to Stolen... Chura Liya Hai...the song that has been his biggest hit till date and remained at number 4 on UK charts a big feat for a singer of Indian origin. Swinging to his tunes in UK, adoring fans stalked him at every step, Jay Sean became a name in R&B and Bhangra hip hop lovers could relate to.
Trivia, little facts about Jay Sean:
Jay Sean's real name is Kamaljit Jhooti. Jay Sean is a stage name that he adapted from taking the 'J' from 'Jhooti' and 'Sean' from 'Shaan', a name that his family affectionately called him which means star.
Born in Harlesden, London, United Kingdom, Jay Sean attended a private boy's school, The Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith, and won himself a place at Barts and The London, Queen Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry to train as a doctor. After two years Jay Sean secured a one million pounds record deal and dropped out to pursue his musical career.
Jay Sean's only obstacle was frequent attention to his race rather than his music. Jay Sean, regarding the fact that he grew up in an extremely diverse country such as United Kingdom, had developed influences from his Black and South Asian friends.
