Buggy Nhakente

Barbados’ Reggae Artist of the Year - Buggy Nhakente was born Ryan Chase in Barbados and his initial introduction to music came at age 7, when his uncle gave him a mini radio and microphone. With that musical seed planted, his admiration of music, in particular reggae and dancehall grew and flourished. Clearly musically gifted, Buggy was encouraged by his peers at school to pursue his talent and seek a career as an entertainer. Buggy obliged and in 1990 he began his journey to follow his dream career in entertainment.
