The event featured a live performance by songwriter and recording artist James House and a live discussion with Shaggy about his illustrious music career, his military experience and support of Veteran causes.

Shaggy whose real name is Orville Burrell, enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1988 at 20 years old. He served with a Field Artillery Battery in the 10th Marine Regiment during the Persian Gulf War.

Shaggy has said that it was during his time in the military that he perfected his signature singing voice that took him to stardom in the 1990s.
