Shaggy
After one decade, six albums, two of them multi-platinum, five No. 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.
Oh Carolina was the first major Reggae record to come out of the dancehall underground for Shaggy.
The platinum selling Boombastic solidified Shaggy as a dancehall hit-maker winning the 1996 Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album.
Hotshot, the best-selling album in 2001, sold over 13 million albums worldwide 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, It Wasn’t Me and Angel, which featured Big Yard proteges Rik Rok and Rayvon, respectively.
Clothes Drop was album that gave his audience chart-topping dancehall singles like Wild2Nite and Ready Fi Di Ride.
To date, Shaggy has sold over 20 million albums
