GENERAL LEVY

General Levy is a true veteran of the UK urban music scene, and still one of the most in demand MC’s in the country. Levy grew up in the vibrant Harlesden and Wembley area for most of his early years, surrounded by different West Indian, European, Asian and African influences. Levy grew up in a community heavily influenced by Reggae music and Black culture and from an early age. He was also inspired by his big brother Winston Irie who had a vast record collection of music from ska to rock steady, calypso to soul, hip hop and reggae that gave Levy a steady diet of music through his adolescent years.

In 1981 Levy started collecting sound system dancehall tapes from Jamaica and UK which were a big inspiration to him as it captured the live atmosphere of the session on cassettes which Levy soon became an avid collector of. At the age of twelve Levy started writing lyrics and by fourteen he formed a sound system along with his friends which they called Third Dimension. It was the first of many sound systems Levy would join, but it was TipperTone Sound that really signified the arrival of General Levy to the UK MC circuit. General Levy remains a legendary artist and he will be bringing the fire to City Splash 2024.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
