Grammy-winning reggae superstar, SHAGGY, will appear live in concert at the LIFE Music Festival on Thursday 7th June
Dubai, 5th June, 2007: Grammy-winning reggae superstar, Shaggy, has arrived to Dubai and is ready to liven things up for the 2nd LIFE Music Festival, planned to be the biggest indoor music festival series in the region. Brought to you by Vibe and in association with Hummer, Sony Ericsson and supported by Done Entertainment, the concert is set to take place on Thursday 7th June, at the Madinat Areena, Madinat Jumeirah from 9:00pm onwards.
" Shaggy is well-known for his great vibe and enthusiasm on stage; he is known to be a master of many styles - from reggae and dance to pop and R&B - so every kind of music fan in Dubai will definitely have a good time at the concert," said Yassin Matbouly, managing director of Vibe Middle East, the event management agency. "We are very happy that we have managed to bring Shaggy to the 2nd LIFE Music Festival; it's going to be a six hours non-stop top entertainment from the world's most famous reggae superstar, Abri Live band, DJ Danny Neville and DJ Bliss and needless to say we have almost sold out in all ticket categories for this 2nd successful Life Music Festival."
"People in Dubai are constantly looking for new entertainment concepts and the LIFE Music Festival is an original idea in the region's entertainment industry; having different international artists and DJs performing in Dubai every month creates a difference in the region's entertainment sector," said Mr. Joe Nazzal, Chief Operating Officer, Done Entertainment.
Shaggy's international success began in 1993 with the release of his debut album, Pure Pleasure, which featured "Oh Carolina", one of the biggest hit singles in U.K pop history and the first worldwide reggae crossover record to come out of the New York dancehall underground. His 1995 Boombastic album proved Shaggy's position as a consistent hit maker, winning the 1996 Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album while the title track topped Billboard's Reggae, R&B and Rap charts. It also became the #1 selling single and hit #3 on Billboard's Hot 100 Single Charts.
Following his breakout success with an extensive world tour, Shaggy released his third album, Midnite Love in 1997. By then, Shaggy's diverse pop, reggae, and R&B listeners had been firmly established. In 2000, the reggae superstar released his massively successful MCA album, Hot Shot, with its global number one singles, "It Wasn't Me" and "Angel". With a six-week run at number one on the album charts, over six million albums were sold in the U.S. alone. Having earned a host of Grammys and awards, Shaggy is considered to be one of the most successful reggae/pop artists worldwide.
Mr. Ahmed Soudodi, Marketing Manager, Hummer added, "We are very pleased to be part of making this concert happen with Vibe. Just like HUMMER, the LIFE Music Festival is a revolutionary concept 'like nothing else' in the Middle East, and fresh initiatives are something we constantly encourage. We are confident that it's going to be a remarkable show with Shaggy on stage."
"We're proud to support one of the biggest indoor music events that showcases spectacular international artists like Shaggy. At Sony Ericsson, we understand the importance of music in people's lives and we cater to our customers by creating products that allow our users to listen, store and share music, giving them the chance to express themselves through the words of musicians. And the LIFE Music Festival event highlights just that - the freedom of self expression", said Hela Goucha, Channel Marketing Manager, Sony Ericsson.
The LIFE Music Festival doors will open at 7pm with DJ Danny Neville live in set followed by warm up band, ABRI. Shaggy is set to perform at 9:30 pm onwards and DJ BLISS will continue to entertain throughout the night until 3:00 am.
