Shaggy lives by a motto that has been adopted by people
around the world. The motto is “it’s not
about the award, it’s about the reward,” and reward is what Shaggy will receive
to begin 2014!
On January 4th, Shaggy and friends will celebrate
at the artists annual concert called Shaggy and Friends. The event is produced by Shaggy and team to
raise funds for the Bustamante Children’s Hospital in Jamaica. Now in its 8th year (7 years prior
to that Shaggy was doing this on his own), Shaggy has raised more than $2
Million USD for the hospital which has been used to buy necessary medical
equipment.
This year some of Shaggy’s closest friends will be in
attendance to support his fundraising efforts.
Friends such as award winning, and international recording artist Ne-Yo
whose hits include “Miss Independent,” “Sexy Love,” and “Because of You” will
perform. Ne-Yo, who became friends with
Shaggy after meeting the star through mutual friends, didn’t hesitate to lend
support to the cause saying “I am honored to perform for the children of
Jamaica and bring added attention to the Bustamante Hospital.” In addition to Ne-Yo joining Shaggy on stage,
January 4th will mark the homecoming of Jamaica’s international
songstress, Tessanne Chin.
Tessanne caused international hearts to stir with her
performance on NBC’s The Voice. Moving
fans worldwide, Tessanne impressed judges and fans each week with her powerful
and passionate voice, singing carefully selected songs such as “Try,”
“Redemption Song” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” The night of Shaggy and Friends marks
Tessanne’s triumphant return to her homeland, and her support for the
Bustamante Hospital!
There are more artists to be added which gives fans all the
more reason to attend and support the event.
The location of the concert is the lawn of the Governor General’s House
on Hope Road (Kingston, Jamaica; this is the perfect venue to make a
statement! Imagine thousands of people
rocking and grooving to the sweet music from the best entertainers and raising
money at the same time!
