Sean Kingston: Indians are well-versed with all kinds of music

“It’s great to see people accepting the talent and also motivating others in the industry. Each time we visit countries to perform, we feel like visiting the particular place again with a bang. India as a country gives a lot of importance to artists like us and I respect that,” he added.

Kingston performed at Lord Of The Drinks, Lower Parel, on Thursday night. His visit to Mumbai is a collaborative effort of the popular talent management company Label and the Lord Of The Drinks team. He will also perform at the nightclub Roar on Sunday.

In a career spanning over a decade, Kingston has collaborated with international artists like Flo Rida, Justin Bieber, Sean Paul and Soulja Boy. His debut single “Beautiful Girls” hit the number one spot on Billboard Hot 100.

He has also won many awards, including Best Reggae Ever Acts in 2007 and Teen Choice Awards in 2007 for his R&B Track “Beautiful Girls”.

Kingston says India is being able to give a platform to many artists because of the number of music festivals that have mushroomed over the years.

“All kinds of artists right from Hardwell to Sean Paul and more have performed here as they have a great fan following. As a country, they (Indians) have adapted the Western music genre extremely well and people are well-versed with all kinds of music be it commercial, hip-hop, deep house and tropical,” he said.

Kingston says he would love to collaborate with anything related to India and is super excited to visit the country.

“The people in India have shown so much love on social media platforms. I am sure there is a lot more in the store when I am going to be performing live. Everyone will love it and will burn the dance floor. You get to build the vibe with you and your people,” he said.

Kingston, who is currently working on some new songs which are soon going to be launched, is also looking at collaborating with some of his friends from the industry.

“I keep experimenting with music and each time I try, it gets better. I love innovating with the songs. It’s a blessing… It’s a real blessing. You know it makes me want to go harder and go in the studio and make another hit,” he said.
