Jai Paul (born June 1988) is an English singer, songwriter, producer, and recording artist from Rayners Lane, United Kingdom. He is signed to XL Recordings.
Paul's 2007 demo "BTSTU" received widespread blog coverage throughout 2010, and has been played on UK national radio by DJs including Gilles Peterson, Zane Lowe, Nick Grimshaw, Reggie Yates and Fearne Cotton. "BTSTU" was said to be released by Paul's brother and musician A.K. Paul. The song caught the attention of several record companies and a bidding war ensued. Paul eventually signed with XL Recordings later in the year in 2010. In December 2010, BBC long-listed Paul for their Sound of 2011 poll, asserting his style as "a startlingly fresh vision of 21st century pop music".
On 21 April 2011, XL released "BTSTU (Edit)" as a digital download. The single received favorable reviews, and was given the title "Hottest Record in the World" by BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe.
On 20 May 2011, Canadian hip hop artist Drake leaked a track titled "Dreams Money Can Buy" via his blog. Shortly afterward, "Till The End of Time", a song by American R&B artist Beyoncé, surfaced online. Both tracks feature a sample of "BTSTU". On 30 August 2011, "BTSTU (Edit)" was included on French radio station Radio Nova's "Nova Tunes 2.4" compilation, and on 25 October the track appeared on Annie Mac’s compilation "Annie Mac Presents 2011" (incorrectly listed as "BTSU").
