rom cutting his first tracks between deployments during Operation Desert Storm as a U.S. Marine when he recorded his first hit, “Oh Carolina,” Shaggy built his career around feel-good, catchy party anthems and paved the way for many Caribbean artists along the way. With his early chart-toppers “In the Summertime,” “Boombastic,” “It Wasn’t Me,” and “Angel,” Shaggy, with fellow Jamaican acts Sean Paul, Wayne Wonder and Elephant Man, were responsible for bringing dancehall to the mainstream. Since then, he’s had three platinum records, two gold records and one Grammy nomination. One of the most distinctive qualities of Shaggy and the main reason for his longevity—versatility. His records range from dancehall to reggae, and he’s continually appealed to a wide and growing fan base. In

a recent interview in Vibe, Shaggy said, “The thing with the whole Shaggy brand is that it goes through so many different genres of music. I’m dancehall, yes, but it’s a global brand. It’s a world brand. So I will hit with a record that’s slow as a ‘Boombastic,’ then come with something like ‘Angel,’ which is totally different. All the records are always so different.” Whether you are a fan of his newer music, like “I Need Your Love,” “Seasons” and “That Love,” or you were there from the beginning with “It Wasn’t Me,” “Angel,” and “Boombastic,” Shaggy will please every generation of his fans. Shaggy will perform on July 22 on Camp Hansen at 7 p.m. at the Exchange parking lot. Don’t miss what is sure to be a boombastic show!
