The native-born Jamaican Marvin Anthony Burnett aka Sledgy was born in St. James at September, 27th in 1973. At the age of sixteen he came with his brother to Germany to stay with his mother and live a better life. Shortly afterwards young Anthony got down with rapping. To do music brings a lot of joy to him. Music is a great pleasure for Sledgy; he feels committed to make music.

It helped him through his hard time after his entry into Germany which was totally foreign to him at that time. After he had rapped a long time for himself to take his mind off his worries, Burnett signed a contract with the label Power Jam Records. With conclusion of the treaty his music career begins.

Under the name of Marvin Burnett he performs onstage (YOU) two times and at Funworld, Bodensee. Furthermore his music appeared on Radio Köln and Radio 7. For two years he has been under contract to Power Jam Records which is known as GUMAK Media e.K. today.

The Jamaican Burnett is also charitable. He gave many benefit performances, among others at Kölner Zoo, in a retirement home and not least at town hall in Cologne- Kalk.

Since recently, he can consider himself an Deejay. With his music, Sledgy wants to motivate people.

Sledgy says: “People are waiting for something new, that is my opportunity”
