More than 40 million records sold. Billions of streams worldwide. The only dancehall artist to achieve diamond certification.
Few voices have shaped global Caribbean music quite like Shaggy.
‘Boombastic’, ‘Angel’, ‘It Wasn’t Me’ and ‘Hey Sexy Lady’ defined a generation of 90s and 00s Caribbean pop, while carrying dancehall from Kingston sound systems into the global mainstream.
A rare chance to experience one of Jamaica’s most recognisable voices in an intimate London setting.
Enjoy a view overlooking the stage from our mezzanine restaurant.

Shaggy
Born Orville Richard Burrell and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, Shaggy got his start as an MC in New York City’s burgeoning dancehall scene soon after moving to Brooklyn in his teens. Not long after serving four years in the U.S. Marines (including two tours of duty in the Middle East as part of Operation Desert Storm), he inked his first record deal and quickly scored a global crossover smash with “Oh Carolina.”
As the only diamond-selling dancehall artist in music history, Shaggy, managed by the Cherrytree Music Company, has sold more than 40 million album units to date, in addition to landing eight singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and seven albums on the Billboard 200 (including four in the top 40). He is among the top 3 streamed reggae artists of all time on Spotify (along with Bob Marley & Sean Paul).
