Alwin Oswald Nurse, known professionally as NEGUS, is a Guyanese reggae dancehall recording artist, composer, singer-songwriter, record producer, and tattoo artist.[1] Nurse owns the Madd Art Tattoo shop in Toronto. He is a father of two boys and has eight siblings.[2]
Born in Georgetown, Guyana, Nurse's early exposure to music came from his father Kenneth Nurse, known as "Small Man", who was in the Guyanese band Mingles Sound Machine in the late 1990s.[3]
In 1990, Nurse moved to Trinidad and Tobago with his mother Sabrina Waddle, a songwriter from Port of Spain. He spent time in both Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago during his school years.[4]
