Levi was born in Liverpool. He has two cultures because his parents were born in Jamaica.

He is a firm member of the Rastafari. With the support of his community he started to take his poetry further afield. His writing began to take on universal themes which meant that he was not only getting his message through to a wider British audience but his performances overseas increased. He passionately believes that poetry should not just stay on the page and that the tongue was the very first instrument. His words move to a strong reggae beat. In the past he has teamed up with reggae, soul and funk fusion bands.
Levi has three collections of his poetry published and his work has been included in many anthologies.
Levi has made several guest television appearances.
An important element of Levi’s work is visiting schools, colleges, universities and prisons running creative writing workshops, in the hope of inspiring the new generation of performance poets.
Currently Levi is working on and INDIE (Inclusion, diversity in education), which currently covers 11 countries.
