Sean Paul has got the right temperature for us!
The mega-successful musician stepped away from Jamaica's island life to visit "Good Morning America."
Getting to meet the man behind singles such as "Get Busy," "Temperature" and, of course, his latest hit — "Mad Love" featuring Becky G — got us excited. But we were curious: what advice would the eight-time Grammy-nominated artist have for his younger self?
Turns out Paul has some pretty good tips.
Paul has been nominated for eight Grammys and won his first in the photo above. In 2004, His album "Dutty Rock" won for "Best Reggae Album."
"It felt good that a lot of people were checking my vibe out," Paul told "GMA." "I was doing [music] not only for me but for the genre and for the country."
Paul said that the reggae and dance music space is a crowded one and he feels honored to have had such an influence.
"Whichever kid wins a Grammy next [should take] at least two seconds to say thank you to the world."
From Beyoncé to newcomer Becky G, Paul has had many collaborations. But one of his favorites was with Dua Lipa.
"I was saying her name wrong for the longest time," he said, laughing.
The pair joined forces for his hit "No Lie." Paul said he follows his heart and trusts his gut on who to feature in his tracks.
"I'm fortunate to work with these young stars and actually do some work with them before they're huge, and I'm proud of that."
What would 46-year-old Paul say to his 17-year-old-self?
"Don't smoke so much, bro!" he quipped.
All jokes aside, Paul said he'd tell his younger-self to keep doing what he's doing.
"I'd work in the morning, play water polo in the evening and I was going to the studio at night. That just goes to show how much I did believe on the inside that I was supposed to be an artist."
Junior Cat belongs to a family of DJs and he's someone Paul looked up to a lot, especially early on in his career when this photo was taken.
"That's Junior Cat and a junior Sean Paul!" Paul said. "Showing people where I come from with music is kind of cool for me. You get influences from the world around you and putting your own [spin] on it helps evolve the process."
Paul said he has nothing but love for Chance The Rapper.
"Sometimes you see these kids come up and you don't know if they listened to you or they checked you out and actually know your work, but he did," Paul said. "It's important for me, as a musician, to hear other people's stuff."
Paul refers to his brother, Jason “Jigzagula” Henriques, as his "music partner in crime."
"That's when I was first breaking into the music business, my first single was out," he said.
The brothers shared a room and Paul said Henriques would be the first to hear his rhymes.
"It's important for me to keep my humbleness in check," he told "GMA." "While I might be the most important thing on the track, I don't think I'm all-important for everything else. These people help to keep me grounded."
