About Me

eNGee
dadon
Formerly known as DJ Pickney
Nasheer Garth Walters, a/k/a eNGee dadon, was
born in the rural seaside town of Annotto Bay, St.
Mary
eNGee is a multitalented artist who writes, sings
and produces music which has a dual purpose, to
entertain and to educate. His style is a blend of
unique and original lyrics and rhythms performed
with high emotionality, drama and humor.
He
presents a new interpretation of the Reggae dancehall
music style, reinventing it and taking it to a new level. The
typical Reggae dancehall music style features lyrics which are raw,
thus appealing to a discrete audience who appreciates its expressive and explicit
lyrics. eNGee employs a more subtle approach, which allows him to connect with a
wider audience.
eNGee believes that his music touches people because his lyrics inspires them and
gives them confidence in themselves and they can relate to it and dance to it at the
same time. He will continue this trend with his upcoming releases which addresses
current issues such as immigrants in America, youth and
guns
and our newfound reliance upon and relationship
with the internet.
eNGee was known as a gifted child, full of
creativity and talented in the performing arts.
His need to broaden his wings as an
entertainer was not supported in his Christian
home, so with a sense of purpose and
adventure, he left home in search of a
future as a musician and entertainer, at the
tender age of eleven.
At age fourteen, eNGee was discovered by
Disc Jockey Youthman Troy, who regularly would
spin tunes at the Roof Night Club in Ocho Rios.
eNGee was oftentimes the winner of the Talent Contest held there on Tuesday
evenings. Youthman Troy took him to Kingston and recorded eNGee’s first single
called God is my closest friend, a dance hall song which was played frequently at
the Roof Night Club.
Later in his teens, eNGee honed his creative talents and proved himself as a leader
and an innovator, creating a dance group called Crazy Kids. They were youngsters
who lived in the same neighborhood on James Avenue in Ocho Rios. As their lead
singer, he was known then as Nas, he orchestrated the formation of the group,
managing and directing them to perform, dance, and sing. The group became very
popular because of their creative and unusual dances, miming and acting. They
would go to different cities and perform in the street on Friday afternoons. Crazy Kids
group was popular in the locales of Ocho Rios, Falmouth, Kingston (cross roads or
half-way-tree), May Pen, St. Ann Bay and Linstead.
Around the age of eighteen, eNGee talent and ingenuity was recognized when he
wrote a song for the popular musician, Merciless, and asked him to release it. At that
time, both Merciless and another well know musician, Bounty Killer and Merciless were
in the midst of a rivalry where they used their music to sound off against each other.
eNGee wrote a response to a song Bounty Killer had written to Merciless. Merciless
recorded the song. Later they collaborated on a hit song called nah tek nuh talk.eNGee there after became known in the Reggae music circles as Pickney which
means child in the Jamaican dialect, because he was the youngest in the group of
older musicians.

eNGee entered the Tastee Talent Search Competition and won. In that same year, he himself recorded his first single and established DJ Pickney as his trade name on asong titled Talk. Since that time, his writings, recordings anddramatic performances have made him the talk in the Reggae musical circles. In 2003, he performed in the Sting Miami concert where he received a write up which typifies the reviews of his performance,Comedian DJ Pickney, brought the house down from the moment he hit the stage. Pushed on stage in an oversized baby stroller, theaudience couldn't contain their laughter as the comedian easedhimself out of the stroller, dressed like a real Pickney with bib,baby bonnet and all. His humorous lyrics only served to incite the audience even more. He indeed earned a lot of love in his Miami debut. Upcoming artiste Pickney had the Miami massive in awe as he totally wowed them. It should be interesting to see how he will fare in that part of the States. He has continued to perform,write and travel through out Jamaica, the Caribbean, Europe the U.S.A. Now that his talents have found their niche, he has defined his sound as Dancehall Rap. In 2007, eNGee renamed himself as a new generation musician calling him self eNGee dadon. When you attend an eNGee event, you will be truly entertained, drawn into an experience of eclectic and exciting rhythms and lyrics that will bring you to your feet, making you laugh, dance and sing.
