Encyclopedic overview

Kisean Paul Anderson (born February 3, 1990), known professionally as Sean Kingston, is an American singer. Born in Miami, and raised in Jamaica, he signed with J. R. Rotem's record label Beluga Heights Records, in a joint venture with Koch and Epic Records in 2007. The label released his 2007 debut single "Beautiful Girls", which peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100 and served as lead single for his debut album Sean Kingston (2007). It peaked at number 6 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the top 40-single "Take You There", while his second album, Tomorrow (2009), saw a commercial decline, but spawned the top five-single "Fire Burning". His third album, Back 2 Life (2013), failed to chart and served as his final release on a major label, but spawned the moderate hit "Beat It" (featuring Chris Brown and Wiz Khalifa).

After his second album, Kingston launched the record label Time Is Money Entertainment, through which he signed then-unknown Canadian singer Tory Lanez in 2010.
