Egg Nog (real name: David Thomas) is originally from ‘Two Miles’ on Spanish Town Road. He began recording songs in 1989 but his initial effort, the Tony Tuff-produced Mr Wannabe, was never released.

Things changed in the 1990s when he cut a number of songs for different producers. They included collaborations with Danny English (A Wha’ dis God) and Baby Wayne (Gal a fi Hot) as well as the solo Get Away Driver which created ripples in British reggae circles.

Egg Nog’s big break came in 2002 when he and Danny English dropped the club-banging Party Time on the hit-laden Diwali. He revealed that he was not the first choice to accompany his longtime friend on the song.

“It wasn’t supposed to be me but ’cause me an’ English did have a flow, Lenky bring mi in an’ di song shot,” said Egg Nog.

Get Busy (Sean Paul), Sufferer (Bounty Killer) and No Letting Go (Wayne Wonder), and Party Time helped make Diwali the best-selling dancehall beat of all time.
