He started music at the age of eleven, but started with his group - The Born Africans - in 1995, who conquered The Gambia at a point in time and still leaving prints of the success. The group broke as a result of its two members leaving abroad in 2000. Fireman started his solo career then. His first album is due to be out as soon as possible. This album is mix of different flavour of music ranging from Reggae, Dancehall, Hip Hop and some Mbalax mix.
