O’Neil Bryan was born on September 11, 1975 in Seaview Gardens, Jamaica, West Indies. He got the name, Elephant Man, from a nickname. His soccer friend and fellow reggae artist, Crack Skull, used to call Elephant Man, “Dumbo the Elephant,” for his large ears; which people said reminded them of the Disney film. In 1991, while still in high school, Crack Skull put Elephant Man into contact with some of his music industry connections. The result was Elephant Man hitting the studio and recording some beats. He soon became a member of the group, Scare Dem Crew. Soon after the group’s first release, they disbanded. Elephant Man, however, was unwilling to accept failure. He began working as a solo artist. This is where he started his trademark of bleached yellow hair. This is also around the time where he received the nickname, “Energy God,” for his high-spirited, fun live shows. In 1998, Elephant man performed on dancehall night at the annual Reggae Sumfest music festival. In 2000, he had hit singles with “Watchi Pum,” “Replacement Killer,” “You Slacker You,” and “Pum Pum.” In 2001, Elephant Man collaborated with former Scare Dem Crew artist, Harry Toddler, to record the single “War War War.” Later that year, Elephant Man recorded, “War War War.” The single was about the 9/11 attacks (which occurred on Elephant Man’s 26th birthday). In 2003, Elephant Man released Good 2 Go. The album features the hit single, “Pon de River, Pon de Bank.” The single, which was a hit on urban radio, is being played a lot on MTV. The album, Good 2 Go, also features artists such as, Rayvon, Bone Crusher, Jimmy Cosier, and Killah Priest. Elephant Man will also be featured on singer, Mariah Carey’s new album. Elephant Man is also featured on Lil’ Jon’s remix, “Get Low,” with Busta Rhymes.
