About Me


From the club doors to the streets, X-amount rejuvenates the music entertainment industry, including a stage presence that is guaranteed to hype, inspire and surprise his audience.
Dancehall, Roots, Culture, & Lover’s Rock define his music best; positive vibrations destined to shake both the Reggae & Pop Industry. American born West Indian- 1982, in Rochester, NY, X-amount began recording at the age of 11. Heavily influenced by artists such as Bounty Killer, Frisco Kid, Ninja Man, & Busta Rhymes, he developed a strong lyrical foundation early in his career.
Barbadian & Jamaican cultural influences from close family and friends were responsible for cultivating his reggae personality. While shaping the character of X-amount, his father introduced him to the sounds of Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Linval Thompson, Steel Pulse, and Gregory Isaacs. Heeding the knowledge of Culture music and its message to end black oppression and mental slavery, he decided to touch upon similar topics.
Recording studios were created for personality, energy, creativity and most importantly- music without limitation. The exhilarating sounds of X-amount not only speak to your heart but demand your body to stand at attention. He has opened up for Elephant Man, Baby Cham, TOK & Lady Saw… just to name a few.
