About

16+ - {U*nder 18 must be with an adult. 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!
