Jay Sean (born
Kamaljit Singh Jhooti; 26 March 1979) is a British singer and songwriter. He debuted in the UK's
Asian Underground scene as a member of the
Rishi Rich Project with "
Dance with You", which reached No. 12 on the
UK Singles Chart in 2003. This led to him being signed to
Virgin Records and having two UK top 10 hits as a solo artist in 2004: "
Eyes On You" at No. 6 and "
Stolen" at #4. They were included in his critically acclaimed debut album
Me Against Myself which, though only moderately successful in the UK, sold more than two million copies across Asia and remains his most successful album to date. Alongside the Rishi Rich Project, Sean was a pioneer of
Bhangra-R&B
fusion, which his debut album helped popularize among the worldwide
South Asian diaspora.
