Shaggy's first No. 1 hit was the single "Oh Carolina." His latest MCA album is "Hot Shot," with 13 tracks ranging in style from reggae and dancehall to pop and R&B. The album includes a new version of his hit "Luv Me, Luv Me," originally featured on the soundtrack to "How Stella Got Her Groove Back." This new version features guest vocals by Samantha Cole.
Shaggy's roots are in Kingston, Jamaica, where he was born Orville Richard Burrell in 1968. As a kid, his friends nicknamed him "Shaggy" after a character from the cartoon "Scooby Doo."
Music was his passion, even as a boy growing up in the island nation. Leaving Jamaica at 18 to join his mother in Brooklyn, Shaggy soon began pursuing a musical career. He got a major boost when the dancehall tracks "Mampie" and "Big Up" hit No. 1 on the New York reggae charts.
Shaggy's international success began with the 1993 release of his debut album, "Pure Pleasure." With the 1995 release of "Boombastic," he scored a platinum-certified album and won the 1996 Grammy award for Best Reggae Album.
