Spraggy, also known as Spraggie, born Nevinson Cuffy on the 18th of November 1962, in Point-Michel, on the English-speaking Island of Dominica (Commonwealth of Dominica), was a carefree child but came to realize his life would be dedicated to music and that he would have a message to convey. By the age of 20 he was known locally as "The man with the golden voice", people were amazed by his powerful & charismatic singing. He became sought after by producers and musicians wanting to work with Spraggy.

Word spread of his talent, which led him to move to Paris in 2000 until 2008 where he settled in Bordeaux France until present day. 

In 2005 Spraggy recorded the "RUB A DUB" single (Sowan Records, Naive) as part of a compilation project "REGGAE X-CLUSIVE” and performed at the ELYSEE MONTMARTRE (Paris), celebrating the release of his new single, for the Reggae X-Clusive concert.

It addresses topics that are dear to him, such as family, rights of fathers, Africa, love, war, education, youth, ecology, or his roots …A true meeting and a skillful mix between Caribbean, African, and Western cultures.
