歌手簡介
negative thingsSelwyn (born Selwyn Pretorius, 1982, in Durban, South Africa) is an R&B singer from Perth,Western Australia, Australia. He was a contestant on the Australian reality series Popstars 2; and while he didn't make it through to the final group lineup, his appearance on the show managed to score him a record deal.
Selwyn(全名：Selwyn Pretorius，1982年出生於Durban, South Africa）是來自於西澳地區，佩斯州的R&B歌手。後面大概就是他參加過一個叫‘ Popstars 2’的真人秀，雖然沒有進入最後，但是他獲得了一份唱片契約。
His first single "Buggin' Me" was released in 2001; with his debut album Meant to Be following in 2002. A few more hits came from the album, such as "Way Love's Supposed To Be", and "Rich Girl", a cover of the Hall & Oates song (taken from the soundtrack to the film The Nugget). He returned in 2004 with a new album One Way, and a new single "Boomin'", but this achieved much less than his first album's success; and consequently he was dropped by his record label.
他的第一支單曲‘Buggin me'在2001年發行，隨後在2002年它發行了第一張專輯‘Meant to Be ’。專輯中，像是"Way Love's Supposed To Be", and "Rich Girl"都成為比較熱門的曲目。（還有一首電影曲，這句話不知道怎么翻。）在2004年的時候，發行了新專輯‘one way'，和一隻新單曲‘boomin’，但是這張專輯銷量大大少於首張專輯，因此，公司與他取消了契約。
He is also infamous for his feud with Cristian Alexanda, another R&B singer from Perth.
他因為和另一個從西澳佩斯來的R&B歌手Cristian Alexanda不和而聲名狼藉。
他原來屬於SONY BMG旗下，契約取消後，官方網站也取消了。
《Negative Things》廣為流傳，舒緩的旋律，安靜的歌詞，Selwyn低沉的男音使這隻曲子更具魅力，很多人都是因此而認識Selwyn。
