Encyclopedia
Selwyn is an R&B singer from Perth, Western Australia
. He was a contestant on the Australian reality series Popstars
2, but did not make it through to the final group lineup. He was re-discovered while working at a shopping centre as a trolley boy. Producer Audius Mtawarira
overheard him singing and offered to produce him.
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.
