Rodney Basil Price was born in Trenchtown on June 12, 1972. His father owned a small sound system, and he first tried his hand at DJ chatting when he was only nine years old. At age 14, he nearly fell victim to the gun violence he would later document so thoroughly in his music; while walking home from school, he was hit by a stray bullet from a gun battle between rival political factions. Price wanted to get revenge from the person who shot at him and that is how he coined his name Bounty Hunter. Fortunately, he made a full recovery, and soon began performing under the name for area sound systems like Metromedia, Bodyguard, and Stereo Two. Meanwhile, he and his friends hung around King Jammy's recording studio, hoping to catch a break. Eventually, he met Jammy's brother Uncle T, who produced his first recordings in 1990.
