Max Priest has earned his place among other greats such as Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Toots & the Maytals and Dennis Brown in spreading the reggae gospel far and wide. Though raised in South London it’s an extraordinary achievement for a singer steeped in Jamaican music.
Maxi’s joyous brand of Reggae and lover’s music, infused with R&B and accompanied by real charisma would bring him a level of success no other British Reggae can match.
His masterful collection yielded the hits “Some guys have all the luck”, “ How can we ease the pain” shared with Beres Hammond and an enchanting cover of Cat Stevens “Wild World” went to top 5 in British, top 10 in USA & also entered the Country and western charts.
Internationally acclaim with his 1900 album Bonafide which spawned the hits “just a little bit longer”, “Best of me”, “Human work of art”, “Peace throughout the wind”, “Sure fire love”, and “Close to you”.
More than 20 years later and Maxi Priest is still the only Reggae singer from any where including Jamaica to have No. 1 hit in America.
“That girl” taken from the album “Man with the fun” was Max’s fifth top 20 hit in Britain where his popularity has endured throughout his carrier.
He was also a founder member of Saxon international and played a key role in it and becoming London’s No. 1 sound system.
This Internationally famed Reggae and R&B artist will perform live in Sri Lanka at a Mega live concert in Hikkaduwa on 11th August 2012 in a highly vibrant Reggae atmosphere, organized and managed by Ants Work (Pvt) Ltd.
