Jamaican-American rapper and singer Shaggy exploded on the music scene in 2001 with the smash single "It Wasn't Me" off the multi-platinum selling album Hot Shot. The album also featured the single, "Angel," and helped launch Shaggy into international stardom where tickets for his live act were a hot draw, including memorable concerts with Natalie, Cyndi Lauper, Rupee and Fay-Ann Lyons. In addition to touring the world, Shaggy has also performed at several high-profile events, including the opening ceremony of the inaugural Champions League Twenty20 and the closing ceremony of the 2009 IPL tournament in South Africa. Following the release of a new album in 2013, it's expected that Shaggy will tour again with fellow musicians. Blessed with a unique, stylistic voice and featuring dancing and Jamaican influences in his act, Shaggy has sold hundreds of thousands of tickets. Shaggy collaborated with producing duo Sly and Robbie for the release of his latest album, "Out of Many, One Music." The album features several guest appearances, including Ne-Yo, Damian Marley, Beres Hammond, Konshens and Jimmy Cozier. "Out of Many, One Music" features the lead single, "Fight This Feeling," in addition to "Make Up" and "She Gives Me Love." Collectively, Shaggy has produced 12 studio albums over his 20-year career.
Shaggy was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and lived there until his family relocated to Brooklyn. He enlisted in the US Marines, but music was his true passion. While serving in the military, he gained inspiration for his first hit, "Boombastic." It wasn't until 2000, though, when Shaggy became an international sensation with the multi-platinum selling "Hot Shot." The singer/rapper has captivated audiences over a long and productive career and will continue to entertain select stages across the globe in 2014.
Shaggy at the Wilbur was a great fun event! It was a small venue so you could see & be part of the event easier than in a massive setting. Shaggy's voice is outstanding. I wish he would have spent more time on his old songs but the event was enjoyable!
He put on a great show. He had a nice mix of his popular songs to go along with a few newer songs. He was very engaging to the crowd and definitely got everybody going. It was a great show and those of us that attended, really had a great time.
The show was fantastic from start to finish. He had so much energy.
He was fantastic as usual! Great venue the Wilbur theatre! No one does it like Shaggy!
I had a wonderful time. Reminiscing my teenage years with all my favorite songs and my best friend. The only bad thing were the groupies that don't know how to behave. But that's not Shaggy's fault.
I LOVE Shaggy SO much and have always wanted to see him in concert. He did NOT disappoint. From the first song to the last I loved every minute of it. I was sad there wasn't an encore....and super bummed my phone failed to record when he sang my favorite song. I love that he sang a mix of his old stuff and new stuff. He was SOOOO entertaining to watch too!
Shaggy is always entertaining, he brought it even with a sore throat.
Shaggy's been rockin' for a long time from Kingston to NYC, and he puts on a great show from start to finish! If you want to hear some good Reggae/Dancehall, check out his show if you get the chance! He was sick during the concert I saw, and he still put 100 percent of his energy into his act! Great entertainer!
I paid $10.00 extra for early entry to the Shaggy show and got there early only to stand in the line for 30 min. I was told that the group was still doing sound check, at 7:30 pm. At 15 min to 8:00pm the door man start letting the "VIP, (in other words people who paid the extra $10) in at the same time as every one else, that was in line behind us. I could have save $10 and got there early and stood in line to get in first. Live Nation stop changing people $10 extra for nothing! Lucky Shaggy put on a great show as usual.
Shaggy was great and entertaining he'd get 4-5 stars! What was sad and very disappointing was that it took 2.5 hours for him to take the stage and the acts prior were not very good to help pass the time. I would not go to this event again..
Shaggy put on a great show as always. However, performers feed off the audience and a packed house! You might consider advertising on a Caribbean radio station the next time. Bet you would have had standing room only.
It took a very long time 2/1/12 hours to be exact before shaggy came on stage. He's slightly forgiven because I understand and could see that he wasn't well-vice issues after doing back to back concerts. he did manage to pull through thou. The crowd and myself included enjoyed the performance.
Shaggy's performance at the Paradise in Boston last Thursday night (2/27/14) disappointed though he was suffering side effects from illness. His band were poor when compared to his traveling musicians during his show from about 6 years ago, at the Cape Cod Melody Tent. I guess, last Thursdays show was targeted to a club scene. This however, leaves his musical followers fustrated and floundering and many of the finer points of his music were lost. Much of Shaggy's music depends on solid support singing from his fellow musicians. On this occasion, this aspect of the overall performance was most definitly lacking. Shaggy's support band had no singers of any great quality. Thus, Shaggy was depending on his delivery and the band to fill those gaps, this proved insufficient and the performance never rose to the excellent hights of his previous show. Yes, the show had energy, but the finer musical aspects of his performance never emerged and the show seemed more roudy and noisy, than outstanding musical experience.
He said he was a bit under the weather...and I thought the energy seemed a bit low...but he brought us through all of his hits and all kinds of other great songs and didn't let us down. I have seen Shaggy before and love his energy, the spirit he conveys is of a kind, happy and fun entertainer. That comes off and fills the room! The group I was with only had one complaint....too much down time. From the time we got there, the dj did so much talking and the overall tone of the club just dragged out for a couple of hours with music that was blanked out so people could sing the words...dj chiming in....etc. That by the time Shaggy came out, it was like it was about time. Sorry to say. RSNY was a fun opening act. A little all over the place at times...and at other times really high energy and fun to dance around to. Maybe could be more consistent because overall they were good. Stay current Shaggy...you are loved....come around again soon!
Wrong place … bad sound levels… disappointing show. Expected much more.
Shaggy was boombastic really fantastic. One big dance party. The entire crowd was on their feet for the entire show. Would definitely see him again
So the tickets listed the event starting at 8, and Shaggy actually took the stage at 1047. Just was too late, opening act was RSNY who were ok, but I didn't go to see them, Rayvon followed RSNY for a whole set, who was another one I didn't go to see, though I was glad he was there for Angel once Shaggy was on the stage. Ticket price was good, and Shaggy was great when he took the stage, but over all a disappointment. Having driven from Maine we had to leave at midnight, so I'm assuming we missed most of Shaggy's performance. Also way to loud, nearly everyone had to go get earplugs. And I'm a fan of loud rock shows.
Great concert ! Lots of energy and a spectacular performance by Shaggy. Guests were up and dancing. We didn't sit down for 3 hours !. Ticket prices were inexpensive and the better then high price shows we have seen by other performers ! If you can catch this show, do it !
Thought it would be Vegas style with a lot of canned music. Wrong. Great band, and back up. Though playing to smallish crowd, did not feel like it. Performers performed like playing at MSG. Pleasant surprise. Will go again next time through.
He sang all of his older sing plus some new ones. He was very personable and entertaining.
