Beenie Gunter: Music, jail and a concert

Beenie Gunter says he was inspired by his late brother Beenie Venture who made him fall in love with Jamaican music at an early age. He is one of the few lucky artistes who managed to have a hit song when he had just started out. His breakthrough song was the No Offence remix in which he featured Sheebah Karungi upon request from her.

“When I released the first version of No Offence, I had no intention of doiing a remix but Sheebah approached me and talked me into doing one. I could not refuse because she was on top of her game at the time,” he said.
