Notes:
| After one decade, six albums, two of them
| multi-platinum, five #1 hits, and eleven top ten
| singles world wide, Grammy winning Big Yard
| recording artist Shaggy is still on the grind.
| Making music that celebrates his culture and being
| an ambassador for Reggae music has always been the
| driving force in the heart of Jamaica's only living
| Diamond-plus selling artist.
|
| In the early 1990's Shaggy entered the scene with
| his deep throaty remix of the Ska classic 'Oh
| Carolina', the first major Reggae record to come
| out of the dancehall underground. Soon after, the
| steady dub rhythm of the platinum selling
| Boombastic solidified Shaggy as a dancehall
| hit-maker winning the 1996 Grammy Award for Best
| Reggae Album.
|
| When Hotshot dropped in 2000 no one could have
| predicted that this was going to be the album to
| set Shaggy totally apart from any artist on the
| dancehall stage. Hotshot, the best-selling album in
| 2001, sold over 13 million albums world wide and
| topped the charts in the US, UK, Germany and
| Australia simultaneously. The album was seven times
| platinum certified in Canada and six times platinum
| in the US. Hotshot rocketed to the top of the
| charts with two phenomenal singles, ôIt Wasn't Meö
| and ôAngelö, which featured Big Yard protTgTs Rik
| Rok and Rayvon, respectively.
|
| Fall of 2005 found Shaggy releasing Clothes Drop an
| album that gave his audience chart topping
| dancehall singles like ôWild2Niteö and ôReady Fi Di
| Rideö. Steady contributions to the dancehall are
| what keep Shaggy current. He is one of very few
| Reggae artists who always have a fresh new record
| pulsing through the dancehall market. And fall 2006
| being no exception, he released one to keep the
| masses guessing with ôReggae Vibesö, a
| well-received tune that finds Shaggy taking on the
| role of singing. ôVibesö is the first song to ever
| feature this famed deejay singing, just more proof
| that with Shaggy's ingenuity anything is possible.
|
| To date, Shaggy has sold over 20 million albums,
| but he doesn't take that achievement lightly.
| Knowing that records are meant to be broken, today
| we find Shaggy in the studio putting the finishing
| touches on his eagerly anticipated but still
| untitled album due in 2007. ôChurch Heathenö on Big
| Yard's new Heathen riddim is the hottest new song
| in heavy rotation on Jamaican radio and in the
| clubs, and this single is just a taste of what's to
| come. In his new project Shaggy is going full
| circle, pulling together the original crew for
| collaborations that include artists such as Redd
| Foxx and Screechy Dan, alongside side Rik Rok and
| the ever-solid Rayvon. For production, the project
| boasts the creative excellence of Sting
| International, Robert Livingston, Tony Kelly and
| Christopher Birch. Working from his strong
| foundation and always expecting the best, Shaggy is
| doing his part to make good music, make a
| difference and prove that the 'world is just one
| big yard!!
