Over the years we have seen hip hop go through many changes. Change is a thing that people fear; but at the same time, they like it because it's something new. Well, have you heard hip hop out of Hawaii? Sean Jay, known as the "Ambassador of Hawaii", has a goal to show everyone what Hawaii has to offer to the music world. Born and raised on the North Shore of the Hawaiian island of Oahu, Sean Jay is a true "island boy by heart". Now at the age of 22, Sean Jay resides in Orlando, Florida, and plans to bring the aloha to the states.
Growing up on Outkast, Nas, Wu-Tang and Jay Z, Sean Jay started rhyming at the age of 12 in a local church ministry. Leaders in the ministry were amazed at how good he was for his age. They said it looked "too natural". While being in the ministry, Sean Jay performed on stage in front of crowds of 4,000 people, wrote 3-5 songs a week, and taught himself how to engineer songs in the studio. After developing more of his craft, Sean Jay started getting known around the island for freestyling and entering in m.c. battles. In the meantime, he also flooded the local hip hop scene with 4 homemade albums. Sean Jay also had the opportunity to open up for Talib Kweli when he came down to the islands for a show.

In October 2003, Sean Jay moved to Orlando, Forida, to pursue his trade. Even though getting a college eduction was the main focus, Sean Jay still worked on his own music. While attending school, Sean Jay came across an up and coming entreprenuer, Kevin Hutchinson- known to everyone as N'ron (CEO of Theme Muzik Entertainment). Now being the first artist under Theme Muzik Entertainment, Sean Jay starts his quest to shake the hip hop world.

Performing for numerous local car shows, opening up for Black Eyed Peas at Sea World, and touring on Van's Warped Tour. Sean Jay was leaving a distinct mark in the minds of his audience with his "natural" delivery. You might even catch Sean Jay rocking an aloha shirt and grass hat when performing "Hang Loose (Hawaii's Anthem)". With the help of some DJs, Sean Jay has been hitting the local Orlando mixtape market and getting play on some major stations across the states. Even the name was getting a lot press from Ozone Magazine, Sassy Magazine, Honolulu Star Bulletin, Djthailo.com, Asianmusicsource.com, Aznraps.com, Legacy Magazine, and many more.

Sean Jay has been making an impact of being a fine representation of Hip Hop from Hawaii to the rest of states. With changes from leaving his hometown, to unknown territory, Sean Jay continues to carry that "change" that will affect the music industry. For so many years, people haven't seen what Hawaii really has to offer. Hawaii has been a place that's been looked at as a vacation spot for many years. Let Sean Jay show you how the Aloha State really gets down. As long as Sean Jay is alive, the effort of putting Hawaii on the map will be in effect!!
