R&B sensation Jay Sean celebrated his chart topping success with a LA album release party for his debut “All Or Nothing.
The UK singer is breaking records as his single “Down” featuring Lil Wayne remained on the Billboard top 10. Jay Sean is the first British urban male artist to have a number one single in the states and the highest ranking Asian artist in Billboard history. Jay Sean is already receiving advice from Justin Timberlake and has celebrity fans like Leonardo DiCaprio. Hollyscoop was behind the scenes on the set of the “Do You Remember” music video.
Jay Sean collaborated with Sean Paul and Lil Jon on the catchy track, which is all about remembering the good times in your life. The three guys shot the New York City-inspired video on New York street at Paramount Studios last week.
“See, I’m a postive person, ya know?” Jay told Hollyscoop. “I like to make people happy. And for me, I wanted to do an anthem that when it drops in the club, it doesn’t matter what’s going on in your life, you wile out, you act stupid, you get together with your boys, with your girls, or whatever it is, and you remember the good times, and there’s always a reason to be happy.”
Jay, Sean, and Jon are all so different sounding, and we love how they came together! The video features a ton of dancers, who were at the shoot until 8am that morning! Talk about dedication.[Hollyscoop]
Jay Sean spread the holiday joy by performing his hit Down during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade and has a new music video collaboration with Sean Paul and Lil Jon.
A singer-songwriter originally from England, Jay Sean dropped out of medical school to pursue his music career. While in England, he took the stage name “Jay Sean,” which is probably more marketable than his birth name of Kamaljit Singh Jhooti. He became known for working on projects fusing traditional Punjabi music and contemporary Pop and R&B (check out Dance With You) and has developed a following in many countries including India.

Jay Sean (Feat. Lil Jon & Sean Paul) – Do You Remember
Flanked by hype man Lil Jon and Jamaican rapper Sean Paul, Cash Money R&B pop star Jay Sean follows up his chart-topping U.S. debut single “Down,” with a “block party” video for “Do You Remember.”
“I love the idea of the street vibe,” Sean told MTV News on the video set last month. “Having folks together, out in the street at midnight. The video is all about having fun, having a party, enjoying yourself. So, we did the whole block-party thing!”
The video was shot in Los Angeles and features cameos from fellow Cash Money/ Young Money artists, Birdman and Tyga. Of course, having the King of Crunk and the purveyor of the imperial blaze on hand only served to further kick the party vibe up a notch.
“I can hype up milk,” Lil Jon bragged. “Gimme some milk, and I can hype it up. But Jay Sean is singing to these ladies right now! He’s making them dance with these uptempo records! Jay Sean has his own lane right now.”The sentiment was echoed by Sean Paul, who first connected with Jay Sean in September, on the red carpet of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
“Jay Sean got a hot song and I got a hot eight bars on it,” Sean Paul said. “He gave me fire, in the vein of ‘Down,’ so of course I had to step to it.”
The video for “Do You Remember” is the second to drop from Sean’s U.S. debut album, All or Nothing, which came out last week. [MTV]
