The artist known as Buju Banton was born Mark Anthony Myrie on July 15, 1973 in Salt Lane, a slum outside of Kingston, Jamaica. Buju is the youngest of 15 children. His mother struggled to make ends meet as a street vendor. He was given the nickname "Buju" as a small child because of his chubby appearance. Buju is the Maroon name for breadfruit, which is a round vegetable. He adopted his last name came from a DJ who had a huge influence on him growing up, Burro Banton. Banton is also the name given to a storyteller. Buju showed interest in music at an early age. By the time he was 13 Buju he was deejaying with local sound systems. In 1986, another local DJ introduced Buju to producer Robert French. Later that year, Buju recorded his first song titled "The Ruler". The two worked together on and off to structure the young artist's sound and style. By 1990, Buju was coming into his own as an artist. The local music scene began to notice this newcomer. His voice had matured enough and began to draw comparisons to another famous reggae artist, Shabba Ranks. At the time, Shabba Ranks was theKing of Dancehall, so it was quite a compliment. Buju was now coming into his own as an artist and people were recognizing his appeal. In 1991 he met producer Dave Kelly, who, at the time, was an engineer at Donovan Germain's Penthouse Studio. The meeting of the two led to a song titled "Love Mi Browning". The song became an international hit, but offended a large portion of Jamaica's women. The song talked about light skinned women, of which most of the women in Jamaica are not. Buju quickly recorded another single called "Love Black Woman" to please the rest of the masses.
