General Levy

One of the most in demand and distinctive MCs on the planet, Levy has been tearing up events

for the last three decades, bringing an unparalleled energy to his sets.

Born Paul Levy in Central Middlesex Hospital NW10 London, England in 1971, Levy grew up in

the vibrant Harlesden and Wembley area for most of his early years, surrounded by different

West Indian, European, Asian and African influences.

He grew up in a community heavily influenced by reggae music and black culture and from an

early age, a certain militancy was instilled in him along with a love and respect for rebel music.

He was also inspired by his big brother Winston Irie who had a vast record collection of music

from ska to rock steady, calypso to soul, hip hop and reggae that gave Levy a steady diet of

music through his adolescent years.

Since then General Levy has gone on to work with various producers such as Sly & Robbie and

Sting International, Shaggy, Steelie & Cleevie, Artful Dodger, Jetstar, Ajang, Joe Grind, Gussie

P, Stingray, Heartical Records, to name but a few.

Levy remains a Lionheart artist riding through the ups and downs of the music business and still

maintaining focus, a love and joy for the business and people; and just like a fine wine getting

even better with time and bringing the fire to any place he performs at!
