Before Rising Stars, O’Keefe was just an ordinary kid who had no inkling that he would one day grace the stage. As he recollects, he developed the natural gift of ‘riding a rhythm” by just listening to beats and singing along.
He was born in Kingston, Jamaica and spent the first few years of his life in the volatile Payne Avenue area. However, circumstances dictated that his family migrate to the more peaceful community of Cheapside District in St. Elizabeth where he attended Littz All Age School.. He later attended the Haile Selassie High School in Kingston.
As fate would have it his best friend Mark Richie (Gussie) succumbed to injuries sustained in a fatal car accident. This catastrophe heralded the “coming out” of the artistic side of O’Keefe as it inspired him to pen his first song “Tribute”. This song was recorded and distributed to friends and sound systems. Nothing came of the song but it was the feedback, mostly encouragement which pushed him to start thinking seriously about a career as a DJ.
It was the year 2006 and the TVJ Rising Star Auditions was coming “to your town”... Of course, Laden tracked all the way to Negril to audition. Laden made history by becoming the first Top Ten DJ finalist in the competition. He was able to withstand seven grueling weeks of competition and critique from the judges. He admits that he was not bruised by Anthony Millers sometimes “brutally honest” criticisms. He stayed the course and remained focused. He has only benefitted from the Rising Stars experience.
Laden was bent on not fitting the talent competitor stereotype. He was now a household name. Armed with this new experience and popularity Laden launched his musical career. He recorded songs for the Shocking Vibes Label. He collaborated with Devonte on the song “The Theme Song” which was used to promote Cricket World Cup.
It was the summer of 2007 when Laden introduced himself to Stephen McGregor of Big Ship. This was to become the ultimate experience of his young career. Laden was now hanging out with the movers and shakers in the business. From “Don’t you Like It” on the Chiney K rhythm, “Gal Coward” on the Day Break rhythm to his exclusive song “I’m Sorry” that cemented his name in the dancehall industry.

Imagine just being able to be in any argument and just say “I killed osama bin laden”
Majin Tar
Well it is an argument some seals that were there say Rob's lying he was the 4th man in
Eliel Pakkala
Imagine faking being a seal because the government pays you to act like a hero
Lenin Pérez
Imagine if It was true
I Shitzu not
Then maybe he’s not dead maybe you’ll see when he rises from the sea and become the Antichrist
Tommy Sands
sure you did

Honestly, mad respect. This man did something that I don’t think anyone else can even relate to. That’s a lot of emotional baggage on many levels. Dude literally killed the final boss of the 2000’s and that’s heavy when your just one man
Ok I wrote this comment almost two years ago now.
- yes I know he was part of a team
- America is not the best military but it is one of the largest so cry about it
- Yes I believe the government and there’s plenty of evidence to show that Osama was killed by Delta Force so if you wanna bring your stupid Quanon shi into this well then 🥺
Renzo Benz
Lmao you believe America isn't the greatest military, who is then?

@Allawi fighting sand people hiding in holes and caves is harder then a conventional army. You taking pride in the taliban? You know the guys who would make women and children blow themselves up? Cowards. The US could have steam rolled the entire Middle East if not for rules. Hard to win a war when the people you’re fighting just walk around and live with civilians again cowards. Every read or hear the stories of how it takes hundreds sand people to take down 5 US soldiers? No skill just numbers. The US didn’t win because they couldn’t commit war crimes. How about opening fire on the US and then running into mosque so then the US can’t fire back? COWARDS

@The Comedy Pilot no even with Biden as president it doesn’t change the fact it is the worlds most equipped and well trained military
