Born April 13, 1967, St. Maria, Jamaica - Jamaican reggae performer and Dancehall artist
In his youth, he received the surname of Capleton, a popular lawyer and family friend in St. Mary. Capleton rejects the name given to him at birth, given his European ancestry. He now prefers "King Shango" given his Yoruba roots. As a teenager, he left his house to get out to the dance floor, where discos took place. He eventually left St. Mary's and went to Kingston at the age of 18 to work as a dance floor DJ.

By 1993, he was voicing tunes that were becoming increasingly conscious, such as "Prophet" and "Cold Blooded Murderer" .
Melodies such as "Tour" and "Wings of the Morning" gave him the opportunity to deal with the Recordings Russell Simmons Def Jam, which culminated with the albums Prophecy and I-Testament in the 1990s.
In 1999, Capleton headlined the Reggae Sumfest dance night. This led to further headlining the following year. In the period 1999-2000 he released a series of hits, many of which can be found in the album "More Fire" .
In 2004, after controversy and reasoning, Capleton released one of his most famous tracks "Small World" (That Day Will Come) .
