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 has shown 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: he released "Bleaching Shop" on the Penthouse label, which won Best Reggae Recording at the 2012 JUNO Awards. In Regina in 2013, Exco won his second JUNO Award, for his single "Storms of Life," produced by Silly Walks Sound from Germany. This gave Exco the first back to back JUNO Awards win in the history of the reggae categories. He toured Europe for one month in the summer of 2013 and performed in places such as Hamburg, Berlin, Switzerland and Belgium alongside Germany’s own Silly Walks Sound.
