Grammy Award-winning reggae/dancehall artiste Shaggy has launched an exclusive year-round SiriusXM channel called “Shaggy’s Boombastic Radio”.
It will air Shaggy’s favorite songs across the genres of reggae, dancehall, and Afrobeats.

According to SiriusXM (the broadcasting company), the channel was announced as part of SiriusXM’s Next Generation & Industry Preview event in New York on Wednesday.

It’s said that “Shaggy’s Boombastic Radio, curated entirely by Shaggy, invites listeners to immerse themselves in the sounds of reggae, dancehall, and vibrant afrobeats. From the iconic rhythms of Sean Paul and Lady Saw to the dynamic sounds of Wizkid and Burna Boy, Shaggy’s Boombastic Radio is packed with songs that will get everyone moving while celebrating the rich musical traditions of the Caribbean and Africa.”

As part of the exclusive channel programming, “Shaggy’s Boombastic Radio” will debut Shaggy and Sting’s recent live performance from their inaugural One Fine Day Festival. The performance was captured at the Mann Center in Philadelphia and will air on the channel over Thanksgiving weekend.

SiriusXM has confirmed that the channel is now available to subscribers via satellite radio and online radio services including on the SiriusXM app.
