Bushman

Bushman, de son vrai nom Dwight Duncan, est un chanteur de reggae jamaïcain né en 1973 dans le village de Spring Garden. Il fut élevé dans la culture rastafari, depuis l'âge de deux ans.
A l'image de beaucoup d'artistes jamaïcains, c'est à l'église de sa paroisse que Bushman fait ses gammes et travaille sa voix. Né en 1973 à Prospect beach, Dwight Duncan est influencé par des artistes comme Black Uhuru, Sly & Robbie, Garnett Silk, Luciano ou Peter Tosh. C'est donc tout naturellement vers des messages "conscients" que se tourne le jeune chanteur.
