Barrington Levy's outstanding career as a top-class reggae vocalist began more than two and a half decades ago. Called reggae's 'Mellow Canary' by virtue of his strong, pure vocal style, he's renowned as the first original singer of the dancehall era. At age 14 he began performing with a band called Mighty Multitude, and in 1975, recorded his debut track "My Black Girl." The first foreign release, "A Ya We Deh," was soon followed with major hits: "Collie Weed," "Twenty-One Girls Salute" and "Mind Your Mouth."  Levy's initial live appearances created a big sensation - with his astonishing self-confidence in his voice, he soon had audiences in the palm of his hand. In 1983, Levy hit Great Britain with "Under Mi Sensi", a tune that spent 12 weeks topping their charts. The song quickly made its way to the States and became an instant hit. Barrington then grew even larger collaborating with Bounty Killer on the song "Living Dangerously" - the undisputed biggest reggae song of 1996. In 1998 their album was released featuring tracks with Snoop Doggy Dogg, Lady G, Jigsy King, Terror Fabulous, and others. Barrington was again lifted to the top of the charts, and continues to stay at the top of play lists on every radio station in Jamaica, and in dancehalls worldwide. Barrington continues to record and tour extensively throughout North America, Europe, and Asia, and remains Jamaica's #1 headliner. He's currently working on his latest (soon to be released) album, It's About Time, featuring Jamaican hip-hop sensation CeCile. Barrington Levy is to this day "Broader than Broadway;" and remains a major force on the dancehall scene!
