	SNWMF 2001: Performers: Maxi Priest Bio
		Born Max Elliott, Maxi was raised in the Lewisham section of London and was working as a carpenter when he was hired to build speaker boxes for a local reggae sound system, Saxon.
		Soon Maxi was singing over the mic at Saxon's live dancehall sessions and in 1984 made a bit of history after he and Paul Robinson produced Phillip Levi's "Mi God Mi King," the first UK reggae song to hit #1 in Jamaica.
		By the early to mid '90s Maxi was critically acclaimed for his skills in balancing hard core reggae vibes with more mainstream pop sensibilities and that approach added to his growing popularity as both a recording and touring artist.

	Maxi Priest
		Maxi Priest's debut album, You're Safe made much less of a splash in the U.S. than in the U.K. and much, much less of a splash in the U.S. than his later albums would make.
		Priest's soulful voice and melodies (co-written by Robinson) don't allow the songs to stray far from the lovers realm where he is most comfortable and most adept.
		Priest's sound is still raw here, though; his full potential would be realized only when he accepted his role as King of Lovers Rock.

		Maxi is one of those few artists who has an appeal that touches the hearts of the avid rocker, country western fan, the hip-hop sympathetic and even the most left field alternative grundge fan.
		In Maxi's case, it was his carpenter skills that first drew him in as he would build the speaker boxes for the sound.
		Maxi feels this success was due in fact to his own influence and appreciation for this genre as well as others.

	Maxi Priest
		The art of being Maxi Priest — a swooning, crooning London-born reggae singer who approximates the simmering of Marvin Gaye with the sweetness of Gregory Isaacs — is about having a great a knowledge of pop and modern dance music as well as rock and dancehall.
		He is, as his newest record bespeaks, "the man with the fun," not to mention a guy with a really big family.
		Maxi has a great ear for textures, and partners himself with artists who flow with his own smooth style — people like Buju Banton and Beres Hammond, who he played with on Man with the Fun, as well as Roberta Flack and Shabba Ranks with whom he created some mega-dynamic duets.

		From its glossy cover, showing Maxi Priest in an exuberant state of wild abandon, one gets the erroneous assumption that Man With the Fun is an effort of intense musical passion.
		Once you get past the facade, and its innards of tangerine hints at a kaleidoscope of musical colors, get ready for a serious letdown.
		Maxi Priest has run out of creativity, if he had any to begin with, and this effort has him simply going through the motions, pairing up with some headliners in order to produce a commercial hit.
