Grammy-winning singer Shaggy has sold more than 20 million albums and is one of the few reggae artists to experience crossover success and top America's pop singles charts.

After serving a tour of duty with the Marines in Operation Desert Storm, he entered the scene in the early ‘90s, initially establishing himself as a star in Europe. He went on to conquer the U.S. with his ingenuity. Shaggy's new CD is "Intoxication."
