New deal for Shaggy

Shaggy has reportedly signed a multi-album deal with Brooklyn Knights, a New York independent record label. The Grammy-winning deejay announced the arrangement on his Instagram page last weekend.

Last year, Brooklyn Knights helped promote the hit single Habibi (I Need Your Love) by Shaggy featuring Mohombi, Faydee and Costi. The song peaked at number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was Shaggy’s first major hit in 14 years.

Dee Sonaram, CEO for Brooklyn Knights, is a music industry veteran. Born in the United States Virgin Islands, Sonaram interned at Profile Records shortly after graduating from Syracuse University.

He has done stints at Robbins Entertainment/BMG; Casino Entertainment, Koch Records and Interscope Records.
