Beenie Man (born Anthony Moses Davis August 22, 1973 in Kingston, Jamaica), is one of the most famous DJs in Jamaica. He was a child star at a young age, when he won the Teeny Talent contest and recording a single, "Too Fancy", with record producer "Junjo" Lawes. By 1983, Beenie Man was recording with Dillinger and Fathead, and had released a debut album, The Invincible Beenie Man and a hit single, "Over the Sea".

After a break, Beenie Man returned in 1992 at Reggae Sunsplash, where he made waves by insulting Bounty Killer, a popular performer. In 1993, Beenie Man was booed off a stage and left Kingston for a year. Upon his return, Beenie Man and Bounty Killer made up and recorded an album together, Guns Out. This was followed by a single, "No Mama No Cry", which condemned violence; it was inspired by the murder of Pan Head, another popular DJ. Partially as a result of prodding from his producers, Sly & Robbie, Beenie Man soon converted to Rasta.
