Sean Paul has Portuguese heritage from his paternal grandfather, Sephardic Jewish heritage from his paternal grandmother, African heritage from his maternal grandfather, and Chinese heritage from his maternal grandmother. Both his parents are Jamaican natives. His nicknames include Zion Lion and King of Israel. Because of his mixed heritage, some consider him a personification of the Jamaican Motto "Out of Many, One People". Sean Pauls voice and style of singing is often compared to Jamaican 1990s dancehall sensation Super Cat.
He played for the Jamaican national water polo team and alleges to be related to King Solomon through his father.
In 1996, Paul and Spanner Banner recorded the Jamaican chart-topper, "Ladies Man", through the singers Sweet Angel Productions.
