簡介
Selwyn (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.
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和約。
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。
《Meant To Be》中一首名為《Negative Things》的歌曲廣為流傳,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。
