Reggae singer Mavado

"The Gully God", "Gangsta for Life"

Reggae singer Mavado, The Gangsta For Life", "The Gully God" was born on November 30, 1981 in Cassava Piece Kingston Jamaica. His real name is David Constantine Brooks.



If you should asked most people in Jamaica who is David Constantine Brooks most of them will tell you they don't know that person, but just say any of the about mention names and everyone knows him.

Growing up in Jamaica, one thing is almost certain you would have to attend church on Saturdays or Sundays.

For David this was no different, his grandmother was the first person who introduce him to music.

He used accompany her to church and this is where his music career as a singer started. Brooks said he used to admire singers such as Sanchez and Wayne Wonder, but his peers would always talk about Bounty Killer as being the best (Baddest) in the business.

Before his introduction into the dancehall and reggae music industry he was a Barber.

The Jamaica reggae singer big break came when selector "Foota Hype" introduce him to Bounty Killer the Leader of the Alliance Crew. He was then introduce to Daseca production crew.

His first single was Real McKoy on the Anger Management Riddim and it was an instant hit in Jamaica, The Caribbean and United States. But his big break came with the release of his single titled "Weh Dem a Do". This was being played on all the major radio station across the world. This song peak at #27 on the Billboard's Hot R&B Hip Hop Chart.

Mavado has became the most sort after reggae and dancehall artiste to do collaborations with. Artistes such as Wyclef Jean’s, Foxy Brown’s, Jay-Z, Lil Kim and 50 Cent’s G-Unit have done collabs with him.

For the past 3yrs since 2007 Mavado and Vybz Kartel are currently the hottest artistes in the dancehall and reggae music industry.

Although he is a member of the Bounty Killer led Alliance crew, he has since from his own crew name the "Gully Squad".

He has since won awards from MOBO (music of Black Orgin), Rolling Stone Magazine rated him as the “Best Reggae Artist” in 07/2008. In 2010 he won the EME award for male sing-jay of the year.

He has since release (2) two albums "Gangsta for Life: The Symphony of David Brooks (July 2007)" and "Mr. Brooks...A Better Tomorrow (March 2009)".

Truly a Leader, a household name and one of the brightest young talent in the business today.
