About Me
In 1998, Vybz Kartel appeared at the Champions In Action stage show,Vybz Kartel held in his hometown Portmore. He gave an outstanding performance showing many his raw talent as a DJ in the making. Finally the right doors started to open and welcome him in. It was at this show that Bounty Killer noticed the young artist with a lot of potential.Rohan Butler, Vybz’s manager introduced him to the Warlord and a mutual respect was immediately forged. He started to pen lyrics for Bounty Killer including such hits as High Grade Forever, Warlord Rule The World, Gal Clown. With the help of Bounty Killer, Vybz was ready to really start making a name for himself. In 2001 he started to appear and impress on popular rhythms like “Da Rolling” (Scarecrow) and “Woman A Cry” (Bun Bun). But it was his notable collaboration from earlier this year with Wayne Marshall on “New Millennium” (Mad Ants) and ”Why You Doing It?” (Krazy) that suddenly and most deservedly catapulted him to stardom in the dancehall.
Vybz KartelVybz Kartel started to create a huge buzz around himself late last year when he was named DJ of the year at Stone Love’s 30th Anniversary dance. He is now a regular performer at the top yearly stage shows in Jamaica, i.e. Fully Loaded, Saddle To The East and Sting where he was called back for an encore in 2002. A major achievement; the audience at this show are known to be very hard to please. Many entertainers have often been booed and bottled off the Sting stage. He has a huge teenage following through appearing on the many bootleg juggling CD’s put out by Cassette Jones and others in Jamaica and abroad. Not one for sitting down and waiting for it to happen - Vybz has been working non stop this year performing at shows in the US, Canada, Caribbean and the UK. Now Vybz Kartel, the DJ with a lust for wordplay is being sought after producers in the New York hip hop arena.
Just recently Max Glazier & The Federation flew to Jamaica to voice him on a CD entitled “Vybz KartelTime To Time”. He recently appeared on the high profile Hot 97 stage show before hooking up with Cipher Sounds and Max Glazer again to remix the Pharrell William Frontin’ before flying home to support rap artist 50 Cent at a sell out show in Kingston, Jamaica. There is also a collaboration with Juelz Santana of the Diplomats for the Def Jamaica compilation.
