finetune artist: Elephant Man

b. O'Neil Bryan, 11 September 1975, Seaview Gardens, Jamaica, West Indies. One of the more colourful characters on the "glam" dancehall scene, Bryan was originally known as "Dumbo the Elephant" as it was perceived that he had larger than average ears similar to the Walt Disney cartoon character. He was given the nickname by his soccer playing colleague Crack Skull who in 1991, through his music industry connections, arranged Bryan's studio debut. Elephant Man was still at school when he first ventured into the Seaview-based studio and practised beating out rhythms and rhymes among his school friends. He went on to became a member of Scare Dem Crew but following their demise, he demonstrated his individuality and pursued a solo career. He was celebrated for his trademark yellow-orange hair, his outlandish jewellery and his numerous catch-phrases. On stage he is a whirlwind of activity, launching himself high into the air, climbing monitors and running from side to side, claiming that he is attempting to express himself to his people.
