Trivia and Quotes

  • Trivia

  • Quotes

    • Sean Kingston: I always had my brother. But when my mother and sister went away, it took a lot out of me. My sister went away for four months and my mom has been away for over a year now. When she went away, I thought to myself, this is too much.' I was only 14. I missed her like crazy but I pulled through and used it as my motivation. "Dry Your Eyes" is a defining song on the album for me because it touches on something that's very personal to me and the dope melody that's on there makes me feel even closer to it.

    • Sean Kingston: By the end of the three-minute song you get to know the situation. You have to know how prosecutors are…and how the process affects lives.

    • Sean Kingston: You don't stop and [it's all about] persistence. You gotta keep goin'—and goin' and that's what I've been doin'.

    • Sean Kingston: (About his mother and sister going to jail) Basically, I was emotional, when I was young. It was very shaky. It was hard for me to go through it. I saw a lot. I had to see them go away from the courtroom. And like you know I gotta make a song about that.

    • Sean Kingston: Jamaica—Jamaican colors of course. Black, yellow, and green. Because that's where I come from. Jamaica is home. Kingston is the capital and I'm tryin' to put it on the map. You know a lot of Jamaican people love my music right now. So that's why I'd like to get them to go to Jamaica. It goes way deeper. There's a lot more than just Reggae. There's a lot of talent down there.

    • Sean Kingston(About his song, "Beautiful Girls"): Man, it was like young love. It was like I was going out with this girl for three years. We not doin' nothin' for a long time, and then in that third year, she didn't want us to be together. So, I'm thinkin' what am I supposed to do?

    • Sean Kingston: Crazy-crazy! I must say, they all different, like Jamaica is kind of similar to Miami, but to go from there to Miami, and then Miami to L.A., it's crazy.

    • Sean Kingston: Man, it feels good to get that creative freedom.

    • Sean Kingston: As an artist, my whole goal is to make powerful and classic albums. I want everyone to feel my music and understand my heritage and that's what this album will do.

    • Sean Kingston: I went to acting school when I was younger, so I want to revisit that one day. I want to get into every aspect of the business and see where it takes me. I'm grateful for the fact that my music is able to bridge genres – I'm ready to do that will any business opportunity that comes my way – it's always been important to for me not to limit myself.

    • Sean Kingston: In the future I want to have my own label and work on the business side.

    Sean Kingston makes really good music. You're way too beautiful girl! That's why it'll never work, u'll have me suicidal, suicidal, when you say it's over! Great song by him. I love that song, beautiful girls. Most people dont kno, but it is actually a lyrical association with the 1960's hit Stand By Me, by Ben E. King. That was a pretty good song. I also like how Sean Kingston blends the Carribean Style music with a rap like beat. He lived a hard life with an imprisoned mother. His song Dry Your Eyes, was about that. I loved it. A Touching song. kingston is a great musiciian.moreless
