Levy started his career in 1976 and has covered dancehall, reggae, reggae fusion, and ragga jungle in his music genres. He has an associated act with Shyne and has worked with the label MCA Records.

Born in Clarendon, Jamaica, Levy, along with his cousin Everton Dacres, initially formed a band named “the Mighty Multitude” and they released their first album “My Black Girl” in 1977. But soon after, Levy went on to pursue his career as a solo dancehall and reggae recording artist. He released “A Long Time Since We Don’t Have No Love” as his first single which became a failure.
