Al Beeno
Al beeno (Corrie Moodie) also known as 'Prince Yellowman' is a young Reggae Dancehall deejay musician who was born in Kingston, Jamaica later moving to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. His catchy lyrical styles (mixed with hip hop urban beats, also know as ragga) with fast beats earned him the nickname 'Prince Yellowman' due to his rare skin condition known as albinism (hint; the nickname Al beeno), similarly some say he seems to be the next generation following popular Dancehall artist Yellowman (also known as 'King Yellowman') who became quit popular during the early 1980's throughout the 1990's. As a parallel to Yellowman, Al beeno managed to use his rare skin condition in order to gain fame.
In 1995 Al beeno had successfully opened and performed one of Reggae's largest concerts held in Toronto, other guests’ performers included Buju Banton, Bounty Killer and Coco Tea. Al beeno's first music video What’s my Name comes from debut new release "The Colour of my Life" and aired some time in September 1st(?) of 2005.
