At a very early age, music began to seep into the soul of Lyndon John. Born of Grenadian parents, the music of the Caribbean is his biggest influence.
Emerging onto the Canadian reggae scene with his JUNO Award nominated debut album Two Chord Skankin, he demonstrated that he was a multi-talented vocalist, songwriter, producer and musician. Lyndon and his team have worked diligently to deliver original roots reggae to the masses and to help the genre gain more widespread exposure on the Canadian music stage as well as on the international level. A performance at Switzerland’s esteemed Montreux Jazz Festival, a trailblazing national television showcase on CTV’s Canada AM as well as a second JUNO Award nomination for his 2010 release Brighter Days are a few examples of the fruits of this labour.
He continues this journey and showcases his eagerness to expand and grow within his art, and as an artist, with the release of a third full length album, Escape From The Mongoose Gang. This album demonstrates his abundance and chameleon like talents, as well as keeping with his all original roots reggae style. Reggae enthusiasts will be fulfilled and wanting more from LJX, recorded and live!
