On today's episode, I welcome my good friend and recording artist, Jay Sean, to the podcast. We discuss a number of topics, from growing up Indian living in London, his original medical aspirations, the lack of Asian representation in hip-hop, and how he aimed to achieve stardom despite that.
Jay Sean provides ample insight into ageism in pop music, the anxiety-inducing state of social media, and why he walked away from a deal at the top of his game. Not only do we learn about Jay's personal journey, but we gain a valuable understanding of the inner-workings of the industry.
