Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Miami and raised in Jamaica, Sean grew up with reggae in his family. His grandfather was producer Lawrence “Jack Ruby” Lindo. He reached producer J.R. Rotem through repeated MySpace messages, then travelled by city bus to the Los Angeles meeting that led to his Beluga Heights deal.
The songs fans know.
“Beautiful Girls” took him to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2007. His self-titled debut led into Tomorrow and its single “Fire Burning,” followed by the Justin Bieber collaboration “Eenie Meenie.” Those records brought his mix of island melodies, R&B and pop to a wider audience.
Finding his own pace.
In his 2022 GRAMMY.com interview, Sean described label contracts that limited when he could release music. He returned with the dancehall-influenced Road to Deliverance that September. Later releases include “Louder” and the Motto collaboration “Ego.”
Recent context.
In March 2025, a federal jury convicted Sean of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud. He was sentenced to 42 months in federal prison that August. In a September phone interview, he spoke about plans for further music and a book.
