News: Sean Kingston Keeps It Positive

Born in Miami and raised in Jamaica, Kingston is the grandson of Bob Marley-producer Jack Ruby and nephew of Buju Banton.

"He told me, 'you gotta be humble at all times, stay focused, you have to believe in your craft,'" Kingston told SOHH about Banton. "He told me a lot of stuff that really makes sense and at the end of the day I learned a lot from him and he inspired me a lot."
