    A former student at Kingston's (now defunct) Fox Drama School, Mr. Lexx is an actor who has appeared in several plays and earned a Best Actor award in 1992. Mr. Lexx also joined the popular dance troupe Squad One but for the past seven years he has pursued a career as a deejay whose stage performances are enhanced by his experience in dance and theater.[3]Mr. Lexx first displayed his deejaying skills in 1992 at the popular Sunday night dances held in Kingston's Harbor View area, featuring the Super Dee sound system. Representatives from The New York-based label Natural Bridge Records heard Lexx's impressive lyrical flow and brought him to Kingston's Mixing Lab recording studios where the 16-year-old recorded his first single, "Own A Home", his tribute to women who aren't dependent on men for financial support. Subsequent single releases including "Unification" and "Ghetto Man Slam" yielded little fanfare for the aspiring deejay but he persevered and in 1997 his efforts were rewarded with three hit singles, "Runaway Train" (X-Rated label), "Fade Away" (2-Hard Records) and "Boogie Woogie" for producers Steely & Clevie.Lexx's popularity lagged in Jamaica due to the time he spent abroad so he returned home in 1998 and reestablished himself through a series of stage shows, utilizing is acting and dancing capabilities to support his microphone skills at Kingston's largest annual dancehall concert, Sting in December 1998 and the event marked a turning point in Mr. Lexx's career. Many of the unknown songs Mr. Lexx performed at Sting became Jamaican radio hits while his performance in August 1999 during Montego Bay's Reggae Sumfest Dancehall Night has amplified the Mr. Lexx buzz to a near deafening decibel! Attired in an outrageous leather outfit, Mr. Lexx energetically delivered a hit filled set which included his first #1 single "Get Wid It", produced by King Jammy, "Yu Nah", another #1 and his current smash "Cook" which humorously urges women to brush up on their culinary skills to keep their men happy; both tracks were produced by Steely and Clevie.

His sentimental tone, immaculate clarity and forward projection, perfectly smooth phrasing over any rhythm is indicative that he is evolving into one of the genres brightest star.Tony Curtis' exceptional remake of the Burt Bacharach classic "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" entitled "HIGH GRADE" from album "Stronger" served as the reggae anthem of 2002.

Feelings, I Want You More, All The Way and Angel are romantic ballads that will definitely be in rotation on every ladies playlist. Other tracks such as Determined, Know My Style and Follow Me featuring Johnny Osbourne reflect the spiritual side. The relevance of peace and love, brotherhood, hope, perseverance is profoundly expressed and peaks on track ..3, entitled Lets Live.

    However, for Advance, the intimacy of the music industry occurred at age 8 when his uncle Bounty Killer entered the business. Bounty Killer has received the accolade as being a legend and a dancehall icon and is the founder of The Alliance Group of which Advance is a member. The Alliance consists of entertainers such Mavado, Elephant Man, Busy Signal and Wayne Marshall; these artists were actually recruited by Bounty Killer and all of whom have become world renowned entertainers. Jamaican critics have labelled Bounty Killer “as having an eye for great entertainers that not only shine but escalade to becoming spectacular artists”.In 2005, Advance was given the opportunity to go on the United States tour with his uncle. And, it was there that this young man decided his destiny. However, upon his return to Jamaica, Advance's mother had other plans for him as she envisioned him as being an electrician. Hence, right after high school he was sent to the HEART Academy in Portmore, St. Catherine to learn electrical engineering. Being a son who was bent on pleasing his mother,Advance obediently went to HEART.However, to execute his own dreams he spoke to his grandmother Ivy Williams (Miss Ivy) and with her help and his lunch money Advance attended vocal lessons after school and visited the studio, “to gain experience”, he said. Miss Ivy was very encouraging, as she said that if she had not facilitated her son's dreams then the world would not have gotten the privilege to enjoy a Bounty Killer. For this reason “I open my heart and my pocket to Advance”, Miss Ivy said.When asked about his music and how it has moulded him as a person Advance said “my music is very personal, it speaks to who I am as a person: loving, jovial, spontaneous, and creative, with positive messages all of which depicts my true life experiences which included those persons to whom I have experienced them with. The greatest reward for me is to see the reaction towards my music, the smiles, the tears and the joy that my music has bestowed on people, all over the world”.
