Shaggy emerged in the early '90s as the most significant crossover success in dancehall reggae. Not only did he become the genre's most commercially potent artist in the international market, but he also managed to sustain a lasting career over the coming decade thanks to wildly popular albums like 1995's breakout Boombastic and 2000's multi-platinum Hot Shot. He took his stage name from the character Shaggy, from the popular children's TV show Scooby-Doo.
Shaggy cut his first single, 'Man a Mi Yard' b/w 'Bullet Proof Buddy,' at age 20 for producer Don One. His debut album, Pure Pleasure, was released in 1993 and included many of his recent singles. Shaggy recorded a hit duet with Maxi Priest, 'That Girl,' in 1996. While Shaggy prepared his follow-up album, more pieces of his product hit the market in 2002. His ninth album, 2011's digital-only Shaggy & Friends, saw the singer collaborating with longtime pals Rayvon and RikRok, among others. Another high-profile collaboration arrived in 2018, this time with Sting. The following year, Shaggy released the solo album Wah Gwaan?!
