“I think, honestly, hard work is the only way that you'll get anywhere and this is not an easy job. People think it's easy to be a singer or to be an artist. It's crazy hours and you need a lot of energy and some spirit inside you to do that.”

British singer and songwriter

Jay Sean is a British singer and songwriter known for emerging from the UK Asian Underground scene. He first appeared with the Rishi Rich Project on "Dance with You", which reached No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart in 2003. He later signed to Virgin Records and scored two UK top 10 singles as a solo artist in 2004, "Eyes on You" and "Stolen". Those songs appeared on his debut album, Me Against Myself, which was only moderately successful in the UK but sold more than two million copies across Asia. His early work also helped popularize Bhangra-R&B fusion among the worldwide South Asian diaspora.
