Barbados' Reggae Artist of the Year 2011 - Buggy Nhakente's road to success is clearly defined and stamped with conscious lyrics, as he demonstrates the true meaning of his name Nhakente - "The Spirit of the people expressed through music".
Buggy Nhakente has toured Canada, the UK, and over 50 cities in the US and shared the stage with mega stars like Ja Rule, Ashanti, Sean Paul, Tony Rebel, Sizzla, Beres Hammond, Shaggy, Jah Cure, Queen Ifrica, Buju Banton, Anthony B and many more. In April 2011, Nhakente completed a short tour in Liverpool England which included a performance at the Paul McCartney Auditorium, where he gained the distinction of being the first Reggae Artist to have ever performed there. His ever evolving talent has seen him, along with his band FullyLoaded, as prerequisite for any major concert in Barbados, resulting in him being an annual fixture on Barbados' premier Reggae event - Reggae on the Hill. Buggy Nhakente also has another distinction of being first the first Barbadian artiste to perform at Jamaica's premier conscious reggae show - Rebel Salute.
Reggae Artist of the Year is not an unfamiliar title to Buggy, having earned this title as well as "Best Reggae Single" in 2007, 2010 and 2011 and also collecting "Video of the Year" 2009. With phenomenal collaborations with Sizzla included in his repertoire like "The Family" and "So In Love", and the successful release of his debut solo album "NHAKENTE" featuring the hit single "I See Dem". He is now riding high on the wings of a newly released single, "Just A Man" produced by Penthouse Records which has become instant hit and he has begun work on his second album which will be aptly named 'Just A Man'

Fully loaded with universal lyrics, energy and charisma, plus an ability to musically connect with people of all walks of life, this artiste is on his way to fulfilling his goal of spreading love in all forms to the world through his music......
