Open Chest With Jay Sean

Jul 21, 2013

The Rise To Super Stardom!

There are moments in life when miraculous things happen—like when a small town boy from Hounslow, London becomes the first and only South Asian in the world to hit the number one spot in the US Top 100 Billboard charts and that too, with his debut single, “Down” no less. Down-to-earth and incredibly personable, international musical artist, Jay Sean IS that boy!

He had a dream, as we all do, to do great things and in less than a decade of honing his craft as a songwriter, singer and performer, he has done what no one from the global South Asian community has ever done before him. His name will go down in history as the first of his kind…the one who opened the door to—what was up until now—the elusive world of the mainstream music industry. He will always be known as THE ONE who did it so the rest can now have hope. The time for South Asian musical artists has FINALLY arrived, to reach an audience beyond our own and to show the world, the might of talent that our community has to offer!

In this, his most revealing interview to date, Jay shares his insights on how to write a commercially viable song, how his mass South Asian following has helped him break into the mainstream arena, and what to expect from his new album, Freeze Time, coming out this fall. There is so much more to his story than meets the eye.
