About
Chaka Demus & Pliers are a Jamaican reggae duo made up of deejay Chaka Demus (born John Taylor) and singer Pliers (born Everton Bonner), known for their hits "Tease Me" and "Murder She Wrote". As a duo, they enjoyed more commercial success with mainstream pop fans after their collaboration began in the early 1990s than either had in their previous solo careers.

Chaka Demus and Pliers, stylisé Chaka Demus & Pliers, est un duo jamaïcain de reggae, originaire de Kingston. Formé en 1991, il est composé d'Everton Bonner (Pliers) et John Taylor (Chaka Demus), respectivement chanteur et deejay (au sens jamaïcain du terme) confirmés. Leur premier maxi, Gal Wine, sort en 1991. L'année suivante, Murder She Wrote est un immense succès.
Le nom Chaka est très certainement issu de Chaka, fondateur de l’empire Zoulou (1787-1828).
