Born March 18,1996 Nicholas Bartley, popularly known
as “Fully Bad” is a dancehall artist who is a native of
Kingston, Jamaica. For the vast majority of his life Mr.
Bartley resided in Cassava Piece/Bagga Lane where he
discovered his passion for the performing arts at the
age of thirteen (13) under the moniker ‘fada Nick’ with
his classmates at Waterford High School. Prior to
attending Waterford High, he began his education at
Allison Basic School and then went to Zion Hill Primary
both located in the Parish of Manchester.
Fully Bad’s artistry can be best described as one which speaks of: progression, struggle, love, lust and reality. The ‘bad gad’ has made musical connections with producers and other industry mates such as, Shane E, I-Octane, Big Zeeks, Gappy Ranks, Destiny Sparta, Iamwav music, Dre King, Rans, Princevilla, Jstar, Skydon, Dj Slowmotion Andre ok, Triston Palmer, Jjwizzle amongst many others. However, in 2020 a surprising announcement was made when both Fully Bad and Foot Hype (former manager) decided that it would be best for each of the of them to part ways and therefore an extension of contract was not signed. Even-though both departed on mutual good terms, Fully Bad would sign a contract with a U.S based label a week later whose name is yet to be announced.
