Who Is Sean Kingston?
by Jill RobinsonJun 12, 2007
With his unique island sound, 17-year-old Sean Kingston is burning up the Buzz. The Jamaica native snagged a record deal after reaching out to music industry gurus through MySpace, and his blend of rap, soul, and reggae has quickly attracted attention. Skyrocketing queries on "sean kingston" (+1,027%) must make reggae icon Buju Banton proud of his nephew.
Interest in Kingston and his single, "Beautiful Girls," has set fire to the Search box in advance of his debut album's July 31 release. In the past month, curious searchers have tuned in to "sean kingston beautiful girls lyrics" (+11,865%), "sean kingston lyrics" (+586%), "sean kingston beautiful girls" (+271%), and "beautiful girls by sean kingston lyrics" (+257%).
Who's looking to sing along? Fans under 18. And coastal search excitement is heating up in time for summer, with California, New York, New Jersey, and Florida out in front. Does that mean the middle of the country already has the lyrics down? Only time (and buzz) will tell.
