His stagename stemmed from his large ears, which led to the nickname Dumbo in his youth. "Ele" started out his musical career as a member of the Scare Dem Crew, later continuing as a solo artist. He was later characterized for several trademarks, such as his yellow-orange hair, his unique low-key voice, or his stage performance, which included excessive jumping and running, or even climbing on stage props and monitors. His acoustic trademark is marked by a light lisp.
The first international recognition came when Elephant Man and Puma settled a contract for using his single "All Out" for their Olympics commercial campaign in 2004.
Elephant Man has been widely criticised for his lyrics calling for violence against gay people. In 2003 British LBGT group OutRage! called for the arrest and prosecution of several dancehall stars including Elephant Man, Bounty Killer and Beenie Man for violation of hate crimes statutes [1]
Elephant Man also had a song called "Willie Bounce" that appeared on several Mixtapes in early 2006. It borrowed the first few bars from I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor.
Recently, the Jamaican star has been signed to New York-based label Bad Boy Entertainment.

The lyrics of Elephant Man's song Drop Dead is an energetic and suggestive dancehall track that encourages women to be sexually expressive and provocative. The song is targeted towards women in Montego Bay and Kingston, who are known to be particularly skilled in bed. The phrase "drop dead" is used throughout the song to refer to the intense pleasure that women experience during sex.
Throughout the song, Elephant Man encourages women to do the "drop dead" dance, which involves gyrating on the floor and making suggestive movements. He also raps about having sexual relations until women "drop dead," emphasizing the importance of sexual gratification for both partners.
The song is controversial for its explicit lyrics and sexual content. Some argue that it objectifies women and promotes dangerous sexual practices. However, others argue that the song empowers women to embrace their sexuality and enjoy sexual experiences on their own terms.
