Sean Paul to receive Entertainer’s Key to New York City

Grammy Award-winning dancehall star, Sean Paul, is set to receive the Entertainer’s Key to New York City.

He will accept the honour during a Rise Up NYC concert on Saturday, August 24 at Roy Wilkins Park in Queens, New York, in the US. The Key will be presented by New York Mayor Eric Adams.

Sean Paul is being presented with the Entertainer’s Key for his musical contributions to the melting pot city.

The entertainer says the honour will be another great NYC moment to add to his memory bank.

“I feel honoured to be able to do something that I love and to help take part in my culture and wear the flag in a big city like New York. I’m giving thanks,” the artiste born Sean Paul Henriques shares.

“New York is a very important place for artistes, especially in dancehall. It’s the first city that I went to that I could do four shows in one night, with all the clubs full.”

Sean Paul has dominated the music industry with chart-topping hits and platinum-earning singles such as Get Busy, Temperature, and Gimme The Light.

Sean Paul is among several awardees for the Rise Up New York Concert Series. They include presentations in Brooklyn to Pattie Labelle; and in Harlem to Keith Sweat.
