Burrell was born on October 22, 1968 in Kingston, Jamaica. At the age of 18, he and his family moved to the Flatbush area of Brooklyn, New York. In 1987, he took singing courses in Brooklyn and was discovered a year later, while singing in the streets with friends.
Shaggy enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and obtained the MOS of 0811 (field artillery cannon crewman). He served with a firing battery from the 10th Marine Regiment during the Gulf War. Shaggy perfected his signature singing voice in the Marine Corps and it is also where he got the inspiration for his song "Boombastic".
First of all, I man praise the father
Proceed the order, who can hear feel it harder
Brave enough fi creep cross we border
Bail out fi Lord, a mercy when we ketch you pan we corna
We won't retaliate unless provoked
No need to question loyalty 'cause I defend my folks
I won't allow my friends to be the butt of all your jokes
You try pass, a this reggae pass gets revoked
So me know dem cah hold weh
Thru thick and thru thin nah stop till we win

All the rights we defend, we have a fight till the end
