THEIR ROOTS ARE ON THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT; THEIR WALLETS ARE HERE. WHY
COMPANIES ARE CATERING TO A HOT MINORITY: DESIS
By BARBARA KIVIAT
Posted Wednesday, Jul. 06, 2005
Jay Sean is an hour late, but the crowd gathered in the makeshift
studio at MTV's Times Square headquarters doesn't seem to mind.
Twenty-some twenty-somethings are sitting around the edges of the room
when the spiky-haired British R&B star finally enters, causing more
than one girl to lean forward. Sean is miked and seated in front of an
MTV logo reminiscent of the Taj Mahal. The camera rolls, and the
interview begins. Sean talks about being a kid and starting a band in
England with his cousin, recording their first demo tape in his bedroom
and being swooned over. He also talks about listening to bhangra music,
choosing singing over medicine as a career and picking a Bollywood
actress to star in his latest music video. The interview wraps, but the
star, who was raised in Britain by India-born parents, stays seated to
shoot a few promotional clips. "This is your boy Jay Sean," he says,
"and you're watching MTV Desi."
