Shaggy
Born Orville Richard Burrell and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, Shaggy got his start as an MC in New York City's burgeoning dancehall scene soon after moving to Brooklyn in his teens. Not long after serving four years in the U.S. Marines (including two tours of duty in the mittpunkt East as part of Operation Desert Storm), he inked his first record deal and quickly scored a global crossover smash with "Oh Carolina."
As the only diamond-selling dancehall artist in music history, Shaggy, has sold more than 40 million album units to date, in addition to landing eight singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and sju albums on the Billboard 200 (including four in the top 40). He is among the top 3 streamed reggae artists of all time on Spotify (along with Bob Marley & Sean Paul).
Following the album, 44/876 (his collaboration with Sting & winner of Best Reggae skiva at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards), Shaggy's projects include his twelfth studio album Wah Gwa • 2015 song by Shaggy "Only Love" is a song recorded by Jamaican-American reggae artist Shaggy and American artists, rapper Pitbull and R&B singer Gene Noble.[1] It was released on 15 August 2015 through RED Associated Labels, a division of Sony Music Entertainment.
