Early Life and Career

Beenie Man, born Moses Anthony Davis on August 22, 1973, in Kingston, Jamaica, began toasting at the young age of 5. His uncle Sydney Knowles, who was a drummer for Jimmy Cliff, encouraged his musical aspirations. He won the 1981 Tastee Talent contest, which led to his introduction to sound system operators by radio DJ Barry G, ultimately helping to establish his popularity. In 1983, he released his debut album, “The Invincible Beany Man – The 10 Year Old D.J. Wonder.”

Beenie Man’s Music Career

After releasing his debut album, Beenie Man took a break from his music career to finish school and travel. He honed his craft alongside dancehall figures and recorded moderately successful singles. His popularity increased after performing at the 1992 Reggae Sunsplash festival, and he became involved in a rivalry with fellow DJ Bounty Killer. They settled their feud with a collaborative album in 1994. Beenie Man released several albums throughout the 90s and early 2000s, including “Maestro,” “Art and Life,” and “Tropical Storm.” He has also released several singles and collaborated with various artists. “Undisputed” is his most recent album.
