Biografia

  • Originally known by the name Max Elliott before converting to Rastafarianism, Maxi Priest (born June 10, 1961) is a British reggae singer and songwriter hailing from Lewisham, London, UK.

    After growing up in the Pentecostal church, Maxi Priest began singing gospel with his parents and eight siblings. After converting to Rastafarianism and going by the name Maxi Priest, the undiscovered singer worked making speaker boxes for Saxon International sound system. By 1983 Priest’s talents were becoming known as he would regularly participate in live dancehall shows, and a year later co-produced Phillip Levi’s “Mi God Mi King” single, which topped the singles charts in Jamaica.

    After signing with Virgin Records in 1985, the same year the label issued Priest’s debut album “You’re Safe”. Produced by Paul Robinson the album was recorded with the backing band Caution and spawned the hit UK “In the Springtime”. The singer’s subsequent album “Intentions”, released in 1986, moved away from a traditional reggae style and featured the hits “Strollin’ On” and “Crazy Love”. Only in 1988 however did Priest breakthrough into the mainstream with his eponymous full-length. The album reached No. 25 on the UK Albums chart aided by the No. 1 U.S. single and Cat Stevens cover “Wild World”.

    By this point Priest had develop a strong following in the U.S. and the UK, which made his fourth studio album his most popular and success to date. “Bonafide”, released in 1990, debuted at No. 25 in the UK and No. 47 in the U.S., led by the U.S. No. 1 single “Close to You”. The album showcased the singer’s fusion style, introducing R&B and soul sensibilities to reggae rhythms and grooves. A hit compilation was released in 1991 entitled “Best of Me”, and the same year Priest once again reached the U.S. Top 10 with the Roberta Flack duet “Set the Night to Music”.

    Despite earning favourable reviews, Priest’s fifth full-length “Fe Real” failed to perform as successfully as its predecessors, and after appearing in the film “Scam”, the singer took a hiatus from recording to launch his own label Dugout. Led by the duet with Shaggy “That Girl”, Priest’s sixth album “Man With the Fun” was released in 1996, and was his most fusion-based record to date. Featuring hip-hop and soul influences “CombiNation” was issued in 1999, followed by the Motown-orientated “2 the Max” in 2004, and “Refused” in 2007. After touring and recording alongside UB40, the compilation album “Maximum Collection”, preceded his 10th studio album “Easy to Love” in 2014.

  • Maxi Priest

    Strangely enough, if I were to need to describe Maxi Priest to somebody not previously familiar with him, I’d be inclined to direct them to an old BBC comedy show from about ten years ago, World Shut Your Mouth. It was essentially a higher-budget - but strangely, lower-profile - international version of Trigger Happy TV, and one sketch had Dom Joly, dressed as a Scotsman, lifting up his kilt to reveal a doll of Priest, at which point he’d describe him as “the king of light reggae.” That’s precisely correct, too; over the course of a glittering career that’s now lasted more than three decades, the Lewisham, London native has made a name for himself as one of the premier purveyors of the genre. He had his biggest success in the late eighties and early nineties, with his Maxi, Bonafide and Fe Real albums; he’s always tended to lean more towards the more romantic side of the genre in terms of lyricism. His first album in seven years, Easy to Love, was released earlier this year; he’s already lined up shows with his band in destinations as far-flung as Melbourne and St. Albans for the rest of this year, with more planned for 2015.

  • The Napa show at the Blue Note was such an amazing show and crowd! The place holds 150, however, the energy and love in the room made it feel like a huge show! Maxi Priest is an incredibly sexy, soulful Human, the band is great! The dude from Jamaica gave it that island feel.....think Maxi & Shaggy doing That Girl, times 12! And the Flag Man, did not stop waving that Rasta flag for hours! We saw him in Berkeley Tuesday night and it was not as great of a crowd, although the band rocked! Had a blast! In Napa we met a woman that had flown in from Japan for these three nights of Maxi shows. Very cool! The band goes to Kenya and other parts of Africa next, nice!

  • Maxi Priest played for nearly two hours non stop, great show great vibe in the house. He played a mixture of songs from his old and new catalogue and even included rendition of the Master Bob Marley's Redemption Song which touched the Heart & Soul of all in the house.

    His live band were tight and played well in tune with his moves, Mr Bassman with his dark glasses and 6 string bass was cool. Maxi's special guest from Jamaica Benneton with his real & raw Jamaican style rapping energised the house.

    Overall very good concert and fantastic venue danced the night away and the old muscles in my legs feeling now.

  • I've been a fan of Maxi since I was a child and when I met my future husband and it turned out we shared the same love for Maxi, I just had to buy him tickets to see him. Maxi is everything, and more,of what you would expect. He's fantastic live and I must say so much better looking in the flesh,his smile is to die for! Me and my man loved every minute of the show,Maxi never ddisappoints and I will most certainly be seeing him again live in the future. Beniton the menace is also one to watch,great guy. Love you Maxi :)

  • Maxi is so incredible to see! Love watching him move and hearing his words! He did some great covers and had us fill in the words! (Redemption Song ) The really, really odd thing is that Cornerstone in Berkeley was EMPTY, weirdly, empty! I’ve never seen it like this! For Maxi Priest? Where was the Reggae community in Berkeley? The Bay Area? We are seeing him in Napa @ The Blue Note tomorrow, it only holds 150 people, insert excited face emoji here, hope the show is as awesome! Annie/tad N of the Golden Gate Bridge

  • Maxi is amazing. He gives the fans exactly what they want. A good balance of classic songs and new music as well. There is a fun relationship with the band members that beams through the music. His experimentation with new rap artists to help excite the crowd was awesome as well. Love Maxi!
