Shaggy

Shaggy is a popular American performer. The artist prefers to work in the reggae genre, and his entire career is built on the promotion of this direction to the masses. The name of the singer, hiding under a pseudonym, is Orville Richard Burrell. The artist is called among the most commercially successful representatives of the profile direction. The musician is often compared to Bob Marley and Sean Paul. In addition to music, Shaggy develops in other areas of show business. For example, acts as the face of a brand of denim clothing.

The first fame came to the musician, when the artist released the single “Oh Carolina”, a cover of the composition Prince Buster. The track soared in the world music charts to the leading positions and was considered a hit. The singer himself did not expect such success. From 1993 to 1995 the records “Pure Pleasure”, “Original Doberman” and “Boombastic” were released one after another. By the time the last disk was presented, Shaggy had become a popular vocalist.

The song “Boombastic” was used as a soundtrack to a commercial for Levi’s jeans, which made it memorable. And in 2007 the composition was included in the musical accompaniment of the film “Mr. Bean on Vacation”. Shaggy did not avoid the possibility of cooperation with other pop representatives. So were born duets with Sting, with Robert Livingston, Mohombi, Tony Kelly and others. The compositions of the performer radiated a joyful mood and friendliness.

The next album “Midnight Lover”, which was added to the artist’s discography, proved to be very popular, and reggae culture once again attracted the attention of the public.
