Sean Paul was born in 1973, in Kingston, Jamaica, where he studied at the Wolmers High School for Boys, before transferring to Hillel Academy High School. Sean Paul then enrolled in the University of Technology, with future prospects of finding a career in hotel management. Sean Paul’s plans changed when he met Jeremy Harding, who would later become his manager. With Harding’s help, Paul managed to become known locally and as his fame expanded, he made an appearance in “Belly” and shortly afterwards released his debut album. Two years later, in 2002, Sean Paul came out with “Dutty Rock”, his second studio album, which produced such popular singles as “Gimmie the Light”, “Get Busy” and “Like Glue”.

| # | Quote |
|---|
| 1 | 'Time Rolls On' is my most political piece so far. It's not on my album because people didn't support it. |
| 2 | My flow follows sometimes what's going on in the hip-hop industry even though I'm speaking Jamaican patois. |
| 3 | I would like to work with anyone in the business who wants to give respect back to the Jamaican vibe. |
| 4 | My lyrics come from my experiences growing up in life, trying to find out and express who I am. That's basically it. I'm not trying to be a prophet or anything like that. I'm just reflecting on life. |
| 5 | I don't want to do something unproductive with my time, so I decided to do something musical. So it felt good to say, 'Yeah, I'm producing.' It gave me a fresh vibe - inspiring in a different way. |
| 6 | By the time my first album was out, I had been out in Jamaica three or four years, but I had hits out at that time that were bona fide hits. |
| 7 | On 'Sufferer,' I'm talking about the younger generation that has no other option for success than to find a gun somewhere. I try to appeal to them: 'I know you a sufferer, but it doesn't mean that you can't or shouldn't expect any better.' It's a lot different than from what I usually say, like, 'Get busy, shake that thing.' |
| 8 | With everything that's thrown at you, whether it be problems at home, problems at work - whatever - basically, if you remain positive, you can see your way out of that. |
| 9 | Most people are fortunate enough to stay two, three years in this game. I've been in it for seven years, and I feel like now, I'm just beginning. |
| 10 | Sometimes you have to take a break from being a crazy kid. You can't be doing that all the time. Sometimes you just have to pay respect to your own simple-ness. |
| 11 | I remember being a bathtub singer. You know, the type that sings and everybody's like, 'Shut up.' |
| 12 | Every time you think a negative thought, it's one step in the wrong direction, for me. |
| 13 | I'm still working on my career, still trying to learn from other artistes and develop my skills and my style. |
| 14 | I love the idea of the street vibe, having folks together, out in the street at midnight. |
| 15 | I do feel I have a responsibility to the youths. For real. |
| 16 | Music tells you about the artist and what they were thinking about at the time, because the person has to think about it to sing it. |
| 17 | I like music when it makes you feel. |
| 18 | Dancehall is just like hip-hop in that it doesn't always talk about bling; it talks about conscious issues. |
| 19 | Please remember we all come from the same one and we will all return to that one, so there is no reason for fighting. |
| 20 | The world still hasn't seen the best of Sean Paul. |
| 21 | It's about ladies, as usual. I'm telling the ladies I got the right temperature to keep them warm. |
| 22 | I think kids should have a mentor and a role model, but that they shouldn't take one person's opinion to be what we call final assessment or judgment about how life is supposed to be. |
| 23 | Music is your own talent and is an important tool. Even if you don't want to be a role model, get ready to be in the public eye. Energy is there, you just have to use it. |
| 24 | I know some very political people who rap, and they say very political things and they'll never get a deal. |
| 25 | 'Rent-a-tile' means when you go to a dance hall, some people take the middle of the dance floor and do their thing. |
| 26 | I'm a big hip-hop fan since being a kid. It was the first music that spoke to me and made me feel like, 'Yeah.' |
| 27 | I feel like I have things to say. And that's what I'm looking forward to. |
| 28 | I've been approached by many different people, but I don't really want to be known as a collaboration dude. |
| 29 | I see dancehall reggae and hip-hop as fused together, When I was a kid, they were the two kinds of music that spoke to me and said 'Move!' |
