BOOBA STARR - Dane Salmon aka “Booba Starr” was born on November 6 in Kingston, Jamaica where he
spent his early childhood before his parents moved to the Greater Portmore area of St. Catherine. Booba
interests in music began in high school when he started writing poems and songs and began to entertained
friends and family.
Shortly after leaving high school, Booba’s interest in music took on a more serious tone as he began to hone
his skills and talent by performing on the Hard Drive sound system; it was this experience that gave him the
confidence and the awakening that he wanted to entertain people through music. Booba is musically influenced
by the great reggae artists of the eighties and nineties as well as the greatest group of them all, Bob Marley and
the Wailers.
With his immense talent and versatility, Booba covers a wide range of styles across the reggae spectrum
ranging from today’s contemporary reggae to the old school classic of the eighties and nineties. Booba easily
transitions from dancehall to Roots and Culture without skipping a beat. During 2010, Booba was introduced to
Trevor “TC” Clarke, producer and owner of Jafrika Records who produced his first single “Things Change”.
During that same period, Booba also produced other recordings with other producers. In 2011, Booba invested
in his own recording studio and began to record his own music; he also started, along with fellow artist “Indecka”
to collaborate with the Austrian Record Label ‘Lyrical War Records’. Booba also voiced “Roll Out” on the “Bomb
Weh Riddim” which was produced by Dimmie Joe Muzik and G5 Entertainment. He has voiced several singles,
“Neva Easy”, “Prison Neva mek fi Dawg” and “From Dusk Till Dawn” for Sweat Boxx Productions which were
produced by Julius Mitchell and Sean Dias. Booba’s latest single “Hackle Di Body” is produced by Deon Gray
for the Jafrika Label.
Inspired by The Most High King Selassie I and life experience, Booba has matured as an individual and a
musician. He is a tireless warrior who looks forward to a bright and promising future in the music industry as
performer and producer. With his confidence, determination, hard work and guidance from Jah, Booba Starr will
definitely be a major force in Reggae music for years to come.
