"Canadian Sensation Reese Badda Putting The Ladies First"

Upcoming Dancehall artist Reese Badda aka Darren Boothe was born in Port Antonio, Portland Jamaica on September 14, 1982. He was raised on Love Lane, a
popular meeting ground for all in the city, which is located at the very heart of Port Antonio; the capitol of Portland.

Reese was raised by his mother who ran a betting shop in downtown Port Antonio as well as his father who was an x-soldier / police living in Canada.

Ottawa Performance - Close UpReese’s first true introduction to dancehall music was through a Buju Banton mixed tape which he received from a record shop on his lane in 1994, which
featured tracks such as Murderer and Deportee, and from that moment on he fell in love with the genre.

Musical influence also came from the likes of Bounty Killer and Beenie Man, while other influences included his cousin who ran a nightclub in Central Port Antonio (Club Lexus), which Reese would frequent as a youth, allowing the music and lifestyle to sink even deeper into his roots.

Reese has always enjoyed dancing, and was so good at it that people would consider him a dancer; which reflects in his movements on stage and ever flowing swagger.

His decision to pursue a career as a dancehall artist came after his popularity and awareness grew in Toronto’s dancehall scene following several successful events held by himself and his squad, paired with his overall love for the music.

The Badda mission is to now supply dancehall with Badda Squad’s own flavor of dancehall, producing hit songs and giving the city the proper presence deserved within the dancehall industry while keeping the roots in full tact.

Reese opened for Serani in Hamilton and Ottawa, and also appeared at the Ottawa Reggae Festival which included Tanya Stephens, Baby Cham, Shaggy and more - Dancehallusa.ca
