Buju Banton is unequivocally the greatest reggae artist to have ever commanded a microphone. The man born Mark Anthony Myrie is a living legend, world class deejay, breaker of records set by the honorable Robert Nesta Marley, revolutionary, and ambassador of the Jamaican sound called “Dancehall.” Born in the Kingston slum of Salt Lane, he’s made a career of teaching music lovers how to love and be loved; how to cherish women; and how to march toward triumph in spite of setbacks; how to Bogle; how to live better. “Reggae music’s mission is to uplift, educate and eradicate negativity from the minds of the people globally,” says Banton. “I won’t let that change.”
After nearly three decades of dominance, Buju is primed to pen his next chapter. The icon has recently aligned his own Gargamel Records with the houses of both Roc Nation & Def Jam. After an eight-year hiatus, he returned to music with the GRAMMY® Nominated, global audio experience ‘Upside Down 2020’ and is set to continue teaching via his forth coming album in 2023.
