| Emerging in the early '90s, Shaggy was the biggest crossover success in |
| dancehall reggae. Not only did he become the genre's most commercially |
| potent artist in the international market, he was also more than just a |
| typical flash in the pan, managing to sustain a career over the course |
| of several highly popular albums. Perhaps in part because he wasn't |
| based in Jamaica, he never really needed to have it both ways: virtually |
| ignoring the hardcore dancehall crowd, his music was unabashedly geared |
| toward good times, a friendly (if horny) persona, and catchy party |
| anthems. He wasn't shy about lifting hooks wholesale from pop hits of |
| the past, a chart-ready blueprint similar to that of hip-hop stars like |
| Puff Daddy, but he also had fairly eclectic tastes, giving his records a |
| musical variety lacking from other dancehall stars. As a result, he |
| became one of the scant few reggae artists to top the album and pop |
| singles charts in America, not to mention numerous other countries where |
| he's had even greater success.Shaggy was born Orville Richard Burrell on |
| October 22, 1968, in Kingston, Jamaica, and was nicknamed after the |
| Scooby-Doo character. At age 18, he joined his mother in the Flatbush |
| area of Brooklyn, New York, and soon began performing with the local |
| Jamaican-style sound system Gibraltar Musik. A steady income proved to |
| be a more pressing matter, however, and in 1988 Shaggy joined the |
| Marines. Stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, he continued to |
| pursue music in his free time, and often made the drive back to New York |
| for recording sessions. He cut his first single, "Man a Mi Yard" b/w |
| "Bullet Proof Buddy," at age 20 for producer Don One's own small label; |
| for the follow-up, "Big Hood" b/w "Duppy or Uglyman," he worked with |
| producer Lloyd "Spiderman" Campbell.Shaggy's most important connection, |
| however, proved to be radio DJ/studio engineer Sting (born Shaun |
| Pizzonia), who got him a gig cutting dubplates at Phillip Smart's |
| studio. One of those records, "Mampie," became a huge hit among New York |
| reggae fans; its follow-up, "Big Up," was even more popular locally, and |
| marked the first of several duets with Brooklyn singer Rayvon. However, |
| Shaggy still had obligations to the military, and his budding career was |
| interrupted by Operation Desert Storm in 1991; he was sent to Kuwait for |
| a five-month tour of duty. After returning to Camp Lejeune, Shaggy |
| resumed his sessions in New York, and waxed a cover of the Folkes |
| Brothers' ska hit "Oh Carolina." Originally recorded for Prince Buster's |
| label, the song was given a modern dancehall update complete with a |
| prominent "Peter Gunn" sample. At first, "Oh Carolina" was simply |
| another local hit, but thanks to some overseas promotion, it was picked |
| up for release in the U.K. by Greensleeves in late 1992. It was an |
| instant smash, vaulting all the way to the top of the British pop charts |
| early the next year and doing the same in several other European |
| countries."Oh Carolina" wasn't as big a hit in the U.S., where it |
| stalled in the lower half of the charts, despite its inclusion on the |
| hit soundtrack to the Sharon Stone film Sliver. Furthermore, its |
| follow-up singles, the tongue-in-cheek gospel of "Soon Be Done" and the |
| jazzy "Nice and Lovely," failed to duplicate its success. Nonetheless, |
| the overseas success of "Oh Carolina," coupled with the high-profile |
| Maxi Priest duet "One More Chance," was enough to land Shaggy a |
| lucrative deal with Virgin Records. His debut album, Pure Pleasure, was |
| released in 1993, and included many of his recent singles; the following |
| year, Greensleeves issued a collection called Original Doberman, which |
| covered many of his earliest recordings.Now firmly a star in Europe, |
| Shaggy went on to conquer the U.S. with his next album, 1995's |
| Boombastic. The title track was an inescapable hit, selling over a |
| million copies; it reached number three on the pop charts and number one |
| on the R&B charts, and also became his second U.K. chart-topper. |
