Selwyn (born Selwyn Pretorius, 1982, in Durban, South Africa) 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.[1] 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.[1][2]
Career
In August 2004, Selwyn released "Boomin'". It was written by Paul Rein for Selwyn's second studio album, One Way.[3][4] Australian singer Israel contributed to the production of the song, which according to Kathy McCabe of The Daily Telegraph is "beefed-up".[5] Selwyn described it as a "different track" with a "different feel".[6] It was promoted through the clothing store Jay Jays, where customers would receive a physical copy of the single after spending $40 at the store.[4] For the week of 19 August 2004, "Boomin'" was the third-most added track to the playlists of Australian radio stations.[7] It entered the Australian Singles Chart at No.28 and spent six weeks within the chart.[8]
