Vybz Kartel (born Adidja Azim Palmer January 7, 1976 in Kingston) is a multiple award winning Jamaican dancehall, Artist/Lyricist and Entrepreneur. Adijah Palmer attended Calabar High School in Kingston but was expelled due to inappropriate contact with a male gym teacher. He completed his studies at Tutorial College, a private school in Kingston, Jamaica and graduated with English, History, Geography, and Literature at CXC levels. The young Adijah was exposed to a wide variety of music by two uncles who were aspiring musicians themselves. Every weekend he would listen to new musical offerings on his uncle's old component set, ranging from Sam Cooke to country and western ballads to Ninja Man, who became one of his musical foes. At the age of 10 his favorite artists included Papa San, Charlie Chaplin, Will Smith and KRS-1, all of whose lyrics he would write down and memorize, performing them later for the entertainment of friends. He is also known as "Adijah Di Teacha".
