I've met Sean Paul probably 2 times.  This story is about our second meeting.  He was on a radio tour promoting is latest album.  I was wondering what I could do different with Sean Paul that I have never done with an artist.  For example, I've drank Cristal with Diddy. 

Then it hit me.  Board games.  Specifically, Jenga.

I'd occupy Sean Paul with the small wooden blocks and instead of worrying about the interview, I kept it real informal and as he played Jenga we talked about him, life, success etc.  When the interview was over I gave him a block and he signed it.  Since then I have had celebrities signing my Jenga pieces.  It's pretty cool to have all these blocks signed.  By the way Sean Paul, pretty good Jenga player.  It's a game of concentration and strategy.

Sean Paul was a really cool, laid back guy who wasn't shy of his background in water polo for which he played for his national team at a young age.

When you listen to Sean Paul's songs, you may not understand some of the lyrics. But, when you slow him down and take time to really dig deep with Sean, he opens up and is quite smart.  I have always said I love interviewing rap artists because of their skill at self promoting and always having something to say.  Sean is no exception.
