Though he’s won Best DJ at The World Music Awards, scored 5 #1 Billboard Dance hits (including club
anthems “Love Generation” and “World Hold On”), opened for Madonna and counts Paris Hilton as a
groupie, it’s French DJ Bob Sinclar’s “Made In Jamaica,” featuring reggae legends Sly & Robbie, that
caught Grammy ears. He’s back February 2011 for a US tour and to pick up that Grammy.
January 19, 2011, New York City – What do you get when you put
French superstar DJ/producer Bob Sinclar in the studio with prolific
reggae legends Sly & Robbie? Answer: A Grammy Nomination for
Best Reggae Album 2010!
Known to American dance music fans–including Paris Hilton and
Madonna as the man who had us whistling and singing along to five #1
Billboard Dance Club Chart hits including “Love Generation” “World
Hold On,” and “Sounds Of Freedom,” Bob Sinclar may not be the
most obvious name when it comes to Reggae, but earlier this year, he
flew to Kingston to re-work his biggest dance hits for his eighth studio
album, “Made In Jamaica.”
Slowed down and mellowed in the warmth of Caribbean sunshine, feel-good club
anthems like “Love Generation,” “Word Hold On,” “Jamaica Avenue” and “I Feel
For You” where reborn; transformed through the prism of old school reggae into
brand new songs. Welcomed with open arms by critics and fans alike, “Made In
Jamaica,” is now one of only five albums basking in the glow of the coveted
Grammy Nomination.
Teaming up with Sly & Robbie–the legendary reggae duo known for bringing their
sparse, funky, dubby sound to everyone from The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and
avant-garde singer Grace Jones–“Made In Jamaica” features guest spots by top
reggae vocalists like Gary “Nesta” Pine (of The Wailers), Tony Rebel, Dollarman
and Queen Ifrica. The current single, “I Wanna” by Bob Sinclar & (Romanian duo)
Sahara features yet another reggae superstar, Shaggy. [continued next page]

“I remix my tracks every year, and I thought it would be a good idea this time to go back at look at them
differently,” explains Sinclar, who walked off with the “Worlds Best Selling DJ” honor at the 2006 World
Music Awards. “Nowadays, music is so electronic, formatted, and I always like to surprise people!”
The 53rd Annual GrammyAwards will take place in Los Angeles at The Staples Center on Sunday, Feb.
13, 2011, and will air live on the CBS Television Network. Please check your local listings for details. •

Paris Hilton and Madonna Heart Bob Sinclar
Need a celeb fix? OK, appropriately enough, Paris HIlton is a huge fan (she shows up at every gig), as is
