Raw 02 - September 2008 - (Page 8) RAW levi roots Growing up what was your family life like? Fantastic, I was the youngest of 6 children and fussed over very much at the time by my grandmother. I was the last of 6 children to leave Jamaica and was brought to the UK. My grandmother reminded me of “Maroon Nanny” who was a national hero back in Jamaica during the 17th and 18th Century during British Rule. Maroon Nanny was like a warrior African queen and she reminded me of my grandmother. My grandmother was an inspiration to the church choir, she was a fantastic cook and a busy body back in content, Jamaica. She could create a marvellous dish out of nothing. I called it Corn food “Throw me corn soup”. During 1960 the British Government were saying come to England there’s gold in the streets and that’s when Brixton became the centre of the universe for me, meanwhile my dad was still back in Jamaica. Who was your childhood idle? My grandfather, who was a Superman back in content, he used to smoke a pipe and reminded me of Popeye. He was barrel chested and used to shout out “Keith” “Keith” which was my original name before I changed it to Levi, son of Jacob. Well Keith was a Scottish name and I looked in the mirror and didn’t think I looked one bit Scottish. When did you discover music and is it your real passion? Everything that I am, everything is born out of music. My mother was a good singer and I knew that I could make it as a singer but god had other plans and I had to make the sauce. What jobs did you do in your early career? I was an engineer and worked on a lathe making nuts and bolts, which I was very good at. I spent 3 years in engineering and could not read or write when I came to the UK. I also played football with Bob Marley in Battersea Park and I Sang Happy Birthday to Nelson Mandela when he came the UK.
