Shaggy was the nickname given to a Jamaican youth, Orville Burrell, by friends during his teenage years, when his hair bore a similarity to the cartoon character, Scooby Doo.
Today, when the word Shaggy is mentioned, the famous Jamaican Reggae singer comes to mind, preceding that of the fictitious cartoon character. Orville Burrell 'Shaggy,' has to date released six albums, two of which sold multi-platinum. Five were number one hits and eleven tracks made it as top ten singles in the world. Having exceeded sales of 10 million, the Grammy winning artist is Jamaica's only living "Diamond" selling entertainer.
In the early 1990's Shaggy came on the scene with his remix of the Ska classic 'Oh Carolina'. Soon after, the release of "Bo****astic" solidified Shaggy as a dancehall hit-maker winning the 1996 Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album.
