In the little Guyanaian village of Baracara, on August 31, 1999, Shamar Joseph was born. The family had five brothers and three sisters in the household when Joseph was born. 

West Indian giants Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh were idols to Joseph growing up; he watched match clips and even attempted to mimic them.
