Tiger

Norman Washington Jackson (born 6 June 1960), better known as Tiger, is a Jamaican dancehall musician active since the late 1970s. He is known for his growling style of deejaying, often imitated by other dancehall deejays since his initial rise to fame.

Biography Jackson was born in Kingston, Jamaica. He first recorded as a singer under the name Ranking Tiger, his first single being "Why Can't You Leave Dreadlocks Alone?" in 1978. He also began producing his own recordings and started his own Tiger label. In 1989, he became one of the first ragga artists to cross over into the US hip hop scene when he duetted with the Fat Boys on "T'ings Nah Go So". However, in 2003, he returned to live performance as part of the Dons of Dancehall UK tour.
