Lennox Lindo, more popularly known as Lyndo is proving to be the Now & Di Future of Dancehall music as his slogan suggest.
The young, underground artiste from Red Hills, St. Andrew was exposed to music from an early age; listening to music from Reggae pioneers like Bob Marley, Alton Ellis, Bob Andy and countless others. Though most of said legendary artistes were beyond Lyndos years, they inspired him to want to go down a similar route.
While he attended Jose Marti high school, Lyndo began deejaying with friends & even lyrical clashed with fellow students. Such battles earned him recognition amongst his peers & Lyndo had shown potential as a Dancehall artiste. But the journey to stardom became a rough one as he had to drop out of high school at 17 & make ends meet by taking on several jobs such as carpentry & selling high tech gadgets.
However, the money Lyndo made from selling gadgets enabled him to pursue his musical endeavors; earning studio time & performing at community BBQs, parties, street dances & stage shows. His rhyming abilities & performance savvy gained Lyndo comparisons to established Dancehall veterans such as Aidonia & Vybz Kartel.
Fast forward to 2010 & Lyndo began to assert himself within the underground ranks & began to show his skills on a wider scale. Lyndos record label, Fyahwall Entertainment produced two unofficial remixes; gaining him clout within the genre. Remixes of Tami Chynn & Tifas hit, Certified Diva along with international rap superstar, Eminems song No Love featured some of Lyndos lyrical ingenuity & versatility as hes able to switch lanes & genres while still maintaining his Dancehall sound.
In 2011, Lyndo began to gain more recognition as a solo artist with singles such as Babylon on the Aftermath Riddim & Me Nuh Inna on the Pepper Riddim. Most recently, Lyndo released the single, Booty Clap on the Hotbox Riddim (Tenfloor Productions) in May. Now as Lyndo aims to prove his worth as a potential future superstar within Dancehalls realms, Lyndo released his Now & Di Future mixtape this past weekend, featuring all the aforementioned tracks and other remixes such as one for Mavados hit track, Tump. This mixtape trumpets Lyndos arrival a force to be reckoned with amongst Dancehalls ranks.
