Exco Levi was born Wayne Ford Levy on June 7, 1981 in Manchester, Jamaica and grew up in Clarendon, Jamaica. Exco's musical tastes include the late Garnet Silk, Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, as well as contemporaries like Sizzla Kolonji. With their influence, he has developed his own unique sound that emanates deep respect for the musical icons who have paved the way for Reggae Music. Exco Levi quickly took hold of the Canadian reggae music scene after immigrating to the country in 2005, showing his range and musical intellect through songs like the Canadian Anthem, "Oh Canada," the nostalgic "Sweet Jamaica" and the love ballad, "Same Ole Words." Presently, he works with Penthouse Records and has released two singles: "Mr. Hammer" with NCF and the hit song, "Bleaching Shop" on the Penthouse label, which won Best Reggae Recording at the 2012 JUNO Awards. Both songs have received major airplay locally and by DJs overseas. He just completed recording with reggae diva, Marcia Griffiths for release on her album and was in Germany in March for a series of shows with Silly Walks Sound System, one of the leaders in reggae in Germany. Exco Levi is well on his way to becoming a household name.
