Thousands of audience members danced and cheered together when internationally renowned singer Sean Kingston performed at Lao-ITECC in Vientiane on Sunday.

The concert was a special event organised by telecommunication company Millicom Lao Co Ltd, commonly known as Tigo, to celebrate the company’s second anniversary and was co-hosted by the Lao Brewery Company and M-Point Mart. 

Those who attended the concert were delighted to see Sean Kingston on stage alongside DJ Kelo amidst a fantastic light and stage show.

The singer performed his hit songs Beautiful Girls, Me Love, and Take You There as well as other new songs from his latest album that is set to be released later this month.

The audience was treated to an impressive line-up of local artists, with LOG, Idols, The Cells, TempleGuys, A’pact, Aluna and Nalin supporting the international headline act and rock band Uluvus closing the show. 

The concert made the police harder to work and control the traffic because audience flocked from many part of Laos and neighboring countries. 

Sean Kingston gave a press conference last Friday and said he was excited to be performing in Laos and had prepared a special show for the audience to enjoy and dance along to.

He said his unique style of music appealed to a wide range of people because it blended many musical styles such as rap, reggae, pop and doo-wop with simple beats, and was easy to listen and sing along to.

He said his latest album was already finished and would soon be released. He hopes his fans all around the world, especially in Laos

, will enjoy the new songs and collaborations with well-known singer and producers. 

Last Friday, 25 fans who won a Tigo promotion had the chance to have their photo taken with Sean Kingston and he departed Laos yesterday.

According to press release, the singer was born in Miami, Florida, and raised predominantly in Kingston, Jamaica, after moving there at the age of six.

He has a musical bloodline that includes Jamaican legendary producer Jack Ruby as his grandfather. It was no wonder he was able to introduce a new genre that combined rap, reggae, pop, doo-wop and remarkable song writing into a refreshing new sound.

Kingston, through a venture between Epic Records and Koch Records, released the single Beautiful Girls in the summer of 2007.

The song debuted at number one in Australia; where it knocked off the artist Fergie who had held the number one spot for nine consecutive weeks. The song also stayed in the number one spot on Canada’s Hot 100 for over six weeks.

Sean Kingston has sold more than three million digital singles, more than three million ringtones and has toured with artists such as Gwen Stefani, Chris Brown and Kelly Clarkson.
