States Marine Corps in 1988
and obtained the military
occupational specialty
(MOS) of 0811 (Field Artillery
Cannon Crewman).
ICS said he served with
a Field Artillery Battery in
the 10th Marine Regiment
during the Persian Gulf
War.
“The highest rank he
achieved was lance corporal,
although he was reduced
in rank twice,” ICS said.
“Shaggy perfected his
signature singing voice while
he was in the Marine Corps.”
ICS said Shaggy, who
took his stage name from
the character Shaggy, from
the TV show Scooby-Doo.
It said Shaggy decided
to pursue his music career,
with his first hit in 1993,
“Oh Carolina” — a dancehall
re-make of a ska hit by the
Folkes Brothers, which
appeared in the film Sliver.
The same year, Shaggy
appeared on Kenny Dope’s hip
hop album The Unreleased
Project, ICS said.
It said Shaggy worked
with producers such as
Sting International, Don
One, Lloyd “Spiderman”
Campbell, Robert Livingston
and Frankie Cutlass on a
remix from his maxi-single
title “Nice and Lovely.”
ICS said Shaggy had
“further big hits, including
‘Boombastic’ in 1995, the
theme tune of a popular
Levi’s commercial.”
Shaggy also sang with
Maxi Priest on his Top 20 hit
from 1996, “That Girl.”
In May 2009, ICS said
Shaggy performed at the
closing ceremony of the
2009 IPL tournament.
He also performed at the
opening ceremony of the
inaugural Champions League
Twenty20 in the same month,
held in Bangalore, India.
In August 2009, he
performed live at the Ottawa
Reggae Festival in Ottawa,
Ontario, Canada, ICS said.
“Here, he revealed plans
for a new single, “Fading
Away,” which featured Kevin
Rudolf and Lil Jon,” ICS
said.
He later cancelled this
release in favor of “Fly High,”
a track featuring Gary Pine,
which was released on Dec.
5, ICS said.
Shaggy was also invited
to perform at the Festival
Creole, a festival held every
year from Nov. 28 to Dec. 6
in Mauritius.
In November 2018, Shaggy
featured on the title track of
Olly Murs’ sixth album “You
Know I Know.”
In May 2019, he released
the album “Wah Gwaan?”
ICS said.
Latez Hayes are also featured.
The creative team includes
Alphonso Horne (musical
composition), Izmir Ickbal
(scenic design), Dominique
Fawn Hill (costumes), Belynda
Hardin (props), Jaimé Dzandu
(associate choreographer), Nina
Angela Mercer (dramaturg) and
Vir-Amicus and Kirrin Tubo

he wanted to be. He applied
to residence programs, where
he could relax, and create in
peace, while being taken care
of.
He joined Triangle Artist
Studios, first at the Dumbo
Studios in Brooklyn in 2012,
where he worked intensively
for two weeks.
“It was a great experience.
I love the people because they
gave you a chance to deepen
the work you do and give you
space to do it.”
After a few more residences,
he returned to Triangle, this
time in Upstate New York and
now, at House 7B in Nolan
Park, on Governors Island,
where he will be for the next
five months.
“This initiative connects us
to an incredible range of arts
and science organizations, and
brings us into conversation
with many more New
Yorkers across the city. It is
exclusively offered to alumni
of Triangle, deepening our
long-term commitment to
other artists,” he said.
The Georgetown-born
Hazelwood began painting
at a tender age, after being
home-schooled by his mother,
who is also a teacher and
who inspired him to read and
write, without reservation.
“She said ‘when I come home
I want to see a bit of writing
and some sort of creative
work.’”
“My mother introduced
me to Shakespeare which I
quickly grasp, not knowing
this type of writing was above
my age-grade. I became quite
educated from reading.”
