Biography Buccaneer first came to public attention in 1994 when he had a big hit in Jamaica with "Hey Yah Hey Yah". He stood out from the crowd with his eye patch and pirate garb, and ring bleached into his hair, and had further early successes for producers Patrick Roberts and King Jammy, including collaborations with Wayne Wonder with "Sensi Ride" and "Trust" . His debut album, Now There Goes The Neighbourhood, was issued in 1995, with production from Roberts, Bobby Digital, Dave Kelly, and Danny Browne, and the same year he made a huge impact at the Reggae Sumfest festival. He was the first to record Mavado. He has also produced recordings by Vybz Kartel, Sean Paul, and Tami Chynn.

A collection of older material, The Darkside, was released in 2014, featuring guest performances from 112, Damian Marley, Spragga Benz, and Lady Saw.
