Beenie Man

Anthony Moses Davis, born 22 August 1973 in Waterhouse, Kingston, is a dancehall and Jamaican reggae singer.

For a season, Beenie-man had to put his music career on hold so he could concentrate on school. In 1992 at the Reggae Sunsplash Festival, he returned to the scene and thereafter his career gained momentum.

This title was known to exclusively belong to Yellowman in the early 80s. Beenie Man’s international break occurred in 1997. This ushered the birth of his very first international hit “Who am I”. Fans were ecstatic all over the world and the single went Gold instantaneously. Media platforms such as Newsweek and other world-renowned outlets opened their doors to Beenie Man and the world saw him.
