ADELE RAY (British DJ): Jay always - you know, he's always been an urban artist really, with an R & B sound and a slightly hip hop sound as well.

SEAN: (Singing) It's been about a month and 20 days and we're going round round playing silly games. Sometimes you hear that Indian influence in Jay Sean's songs. He comes from Britain and his ancestors come from India. And the song is a hit reaching the top of the pop charts, which means he made history because he is the first British South Asian to do that. He's performing, here, with the rapper Little Wayne. INSKEEP: That's a song called 'Down,' the debut American single by a singer who goes by the name of Jay Sean.
