Buju Banton - What Is Life [Official Reggae Music]
Born in Kingston, Jamaica on July 15, 1973, Mark Anthony Myrie, better known as Buju Banton, had a love for music at an early age. "Buju," a word for breadfruit often used for chubby children, was a childhood nickname. He later adopted Banton as a tribute to one of his early musical influences, deejay Burro Banton. By age 13, Banton was performing with local sound systems, and a chance meeting with producer Robert French led to his first recorded single, "The Ruler." After taking a break to allow his voice to mature, Banton returned to recording with a rough, aggressive growl that would become his trademark.
