Video: Jay Sean Hits the Studio with Birdman

The buzz about R&B sensation Jay Sean's next album has begun and the singer is hard at work on his project. To add to all the hype Jay Sean has released footage from the Miami Hit Factory today. The singer keeps tweeting about his time in the studio working on his album so it makes sense that he sends footage from his work session. One of his latest tweets said "It's nearly 3am and we just finished at the studio. Another siiiiick track done!!! Braaaap! I'm laying it down for u my peeps! we comin!"

We all know that when Jay Sean shares footage with his fans he never fails to entertain them. The artist's humor leaves fans eager to watch any video with him in it. While he is not all laughs in this video Jay is laid back and is hanging out with co-founder of Cash Money Records, rapper Birdman. The two talk about his next album and they both even send a shout out to U.K.'s acclaimed photographers, Amit & Naroop.

Besides doing a photo shoot with Jay Sean the photographers have shot Britain's leading girl group Sugababes amongst other a-list artists. Naroop also happens to be Jay's brother. So it looks like Jay Sean isn't the only one with talent in the family and it's cool that Birdman recognizes it!

Jay Sean has had one heck of a year. Late 2009 he released his single "Down" which hit the number one spot on the Billboard Chart. Hopefully his hard work will pay off and he will be able to repeat the same magic on his next album. Are you excited to hear Jay's new tracks? Drop us a line.

Jay Sean swept the boards at the 2010 Asian Music Awards by winning every the prize for which he was nominated.

The singer took best male, best album for All or Nothing, best video for Down and best urban act at the ceremony, held in London's Royal Festival Hall.

Amar claimed the best female act, while JK was voted the best newcomer.

Other notable winners included Imran Khan for best Desi (south Asian) act, while Sukshinder Shinda earned the award for best producer.

"It's a great feeling to get four out of four," 26-year-old Sean told BBC Asian Network, and revealed he had also bagged a guest superstar for his next single.


The Sugababes were one of the main acts at the AMAs
"I've recently done a collaboration with Mary J Blige," he said. "It was incredible and we are shooting the video in London on Friday."

The Hounslow-born R&B singer generated a huge roar of approval from the crowd - along with fellow nominees Imran Khan, Jaz Dhami and Mumzy Stranger - whenever their names were mentioned.

And, even though Sean came out on top, Dhami and Khan did produce two of the highlights of the awards.

The white-suited Dhami opened the show as a grand piano and violinist provided the backdrop to his singing, while Khan put on a performance which saw him drape a snake around him as he sang a medley of his songs.

"You have to do something different to stand out in the industry and I did it," said Khan, who had a huge hit with his single Amplifier. "I loved it."

British boxer and WBA light-welterweight champion Amir Khan added: "I think that's the first time I've seen a real snake - I hate snakes as well.

"There were some crazy acts going on. I loved it. I've heard a lot about the event and, although it's the first time I've come to them, I think I'll be here again."

The Sugababes also put in a performance at the ceremony, as they revealed that they will be going to India to perform at the lucrative Indian Premier League cricket tournament.
