About Me

Buju Banton (born July 15, 1973) is the youngest of 15 children born to a 'higgler', street vendor mother in Kingston, Jamaica. A descendant of the Maroons, (the fierce freedom fighters who fended off attacks from the British colonial regiments) he was nicknamed Buju (the Maroon name for breadfruit, a starchy round vegetable) as a child; ***************************************************** Banton is a designation bestowed upon a commander of lyrical distinction as well of the name of the Deejay who had the greatest impact on Buju's coarse vocal style, Burro Banton. Buju, entered Jamaica's musical fraternity at age 12 as the 'Lambada Man', captivated by deejay's lyrical skills as they chat over records played by sound system selectors in the dancehall.the voice of Jamaica has been Mark Anthony Myrie, better known to Reggae fans as Buju Banton. ******************************************************** Buju has dominated Jamaican music with a rough gravel yet keenly melodic deejay (the Jamaican equivalent of a rapper) delivery, transcending the parameters of dancehall Reggae and serving as a globally embraced artistic paradigm for the 21st century. ******************************************************* "Being in dancehall at such a young age, seeing people with microphones, hearing the music was the most mystical feeling I ever encountered," he recalls. "The first time I got the chance to make a song my head swell so big, I knew right there there was no turning back." ~BUJU I edited my profile at Jahmyspace.com , check out these Reggae Myspace Layouts!
