Buju Banton, born Mark Anthony Myrie on July 15, 1973, in Kingston, Jamaica, is a legendary dancehall, ragga, and reggae singer who has profoundly influenced Jamaican music. Raised in the Salt Lane neighborhood as the youngest of 16 children, he began his musical career at age 13 under the alias "Gargamel" and released his first single "The Ruler" in 1987. In 1992, he broke Bob Marley's record for the most #1 singles in a year with hits like "Bogle" and "Love Me Browning," establishing himself as a dominant force in Jamaican music. Despite early controversies, including the notorious single "Boom Bye Bye," Banton evolved into a more conscious artist, releasing critically acclaimed albums like "'Til Shiloh" and "Before the Dawn," which won a Grammy Award in 2011. After serving time in prison, he made a triumphant return with his "Long Walk to Freedom" tour in 2019, performing to over 30,000 fans in Kingston. Recently, he signed with Roc Nation and continues to be a pivotal figure in reggae, known for his powerful voice and socially impactful music.
