Shaggy, is a Jamaican-American reggae singer who takes his nickname from Scooby-Doo's companion, a nickname given to him by his friends during his teenage years because his name bore a similarity to the Scooby Doo character. He is especially notable for his distinctive sub-baritone voice. In 1988, he joined the United States Marine Corps as a Field Artillery Cannon Crewman with 5th Battalion, 10th Marines. While enlisted in the Marines he served during Operation Desert Storm during the Gulf War. It was during this time that Shaggy perfected his signature singing voice, breaking the constant monotony of running and marching cadences with his flair for inflection. It is also where he got the inspiration for his song "Mr. Bombastic." In January 2008, Shaggy performed a concert with Natalia and En Vogue in Antwerp.
In 2008, UEFA chose Shaggy to record the official anthem for the Mascots (Trix and Flix) of the Euro 2008 football tournament held in Austria and Switzerland. The song is called "Feel the Rush".
In the summer of 2008 he appeared on VH1's I Love The New Millenium.
On 4 December, Intoxication was nominated for Best Reggae Album at the 51st Grammy Awards.
