Biography: Born Anthony Moses Davis in Waterhouse, Kingston. He was only five when he first toddled onstage to grab the microphone at a sound system dance thrown by his uncle's Master Blaster set. Only three years later, he recorded his single debut, "Too Fancy," for the late legendary reggae producer Henry "Junjo" Lawes. Beenie was encouraged by his uncle Sydney Wolf who was a drummer for Jimmy Cliff to work on his music.

After recording "Killer Sound" for Winston Riley's Technique Records, Beenie linked with teenaged Patrick Roberts's fledgling STAX sound system. He recorded his first album, The Invincible Beenie Man: Ten Year-Old Boy Wonder, with veteran producer Bunny Lee, and then reunited with Roberts to record "We Run Things" and "Kipwey" for Roberts's new Shocking Vibes label.

After a brief hiatus, he returned on the scene in the 1990's and has constantly been on the music charts in Jamaica ever since. Beenie, (which means small in patois) gained the respect of the masses and peers alike after winning a soundclash against rival Bounty Killa. 1994 he released a barrage of hits including "Matey," "Modeling," and "Slam."

In 1996 his career took rose to the International level after touring with another popular DJ known as Shabba Ranks. The following year he released the single “Dancehall Queen” with Chevelle Franklin and played a supporting role in the Palm Pictures movie of the same name. The song “Who Am I (Sim-Simma)” produced by Jeremy Harding from 1997’s Many Moods of Moses introduced the artist to the US Airwaves after receiving regular rotation at New York’s Hot 97.

Virgin Records signed Beenie Man for a 5 album deal and his 2000 major label debut, Art & Life won a Grammy for best Reggae Album that year. His next album Tropical Storm featured “Feel it Boy” a duet with Janet Jackson.

On January 15, 2004 he sustained life-threatening injuries included broken ribs and a collapsed lung that required emergency surgery and extended when his Hummer overturned as he tried to negotiate a turn in the midst of new road construction.

He recovered to release “Back to Basics” later that year with songs such as “Dude”, and “King of the Dancehall” that returned the superstar to his dancehall roots. 2004 also marked the apparent end of a on-again-off-again Tupac and Biggy-esque feud of many years with fellow DJ Bounty Killer that threatened at times to overshadow both of their careers.

This father of many continues to record and tour the world occasionally dabbling in acting. He is known for his consistent live performances which feature not only hits from his prolific catalog but his entertaining dancing and impeccable music from Ruff Kutt, his backing band of many years. In his spare time he is avid movie/DVD junkie and playing enjoys soccer and video games.
