Mr. Vegas got his moniker “Mr. Vegas” by his schoolyard football-mates, who thought that he kicked the ball like a Las Vegas dancer. In his early years as a ‘sing-jay’, Vegas sang covers of Jamaican hits at local parties and shows and from there has recorded hit after hit and achieved many awards.
In 2012, the hit single ‘Sweet Jamaica” was named by Google Music as ‘Top 50 albums of 2012′, and landed the ‘Best of 2012’ in the reggae section of iTunes.
