In 1987, Maxi left for Jamaica in the company of keyboard wizard Duncan Bridgeman and Mafia Fluxy, who are the UKs very own rhythm kings.

It was in Kingston, Jamaica that he recorded his third album Maxi, produced by Sly Robbie in collaboration with Willie Lindo.

This masterful collection yielded the hits Some Guys Have All The Luck, How Can We Ease The Pain, shared with Beres Hammond, and an enchanting cover of Cat Stevens Wild World which went Top 5 in Britain, Top 10 in the US and also entered the country and western charts Soon, Further international acclaim came with his 1990 album Bonafide, which spawned the hits Just A Little Bit Longer, Best Of Me, Human Work Of Art, Peace Throughout The World, Sure Fire Love and Close To You.

America. As Maxis fame went global, Virgin released Best Of Me, which contained a selection of hits past, present and future.

This was the album containing Housecall, featuring Shabba Ranks, who was Jamaicas reigning dee-jay at the time.

Housecall broke that mould and established Maxi and Shabba at the forefront of a new, urbanised form of reggae music that incorporated strands of hip hop and rb, as well as their trademark reggae sound.

This groundbreaking new fusion transformed Maxis 1992 album Fi Real into a classic, and especially on tracks like Groovin In The Midnight and Just Wanna Know.

Major league collaborations with American soul legends Roberta Flack and arranger Arif Mardin and also jazz guitarist Lee Ritenour followed.

During the mid-nineties, as reggaes popularity increased, he co-founded the hugely influential Mad House label whilst continuing his winning streak with dee-jays.

In 1996, he and Shaggy were back in the charts with That Girl, taken from the album Man With The Fun.

It was Maxis fifth Top 20 hit in Britain, where his popularity has endured throughout his career.

In 2008, he toured and recorded with fellow British reggae trailblazers UB40.

His success has led to seven gold albums and groundbreaking collaborations with Roberta Flack, Shaggy, Sly Robbie, Bennie Man and Beres Hammond.
