Mr Lynx
Hailing from the Bahamas comes Mr. Lynx, a versatile vocalist with an animated sound and original flow. Ever since he exploded on the scene in 2001, he's been one of the most prominent voices in the genre. After releasing "Living Furnace" in 2003, Lynx has been an unstoppable force and remained one of the top ten best sellers in the gospel reggae genre and featured on over 30 albums including bestselling CDs by Christafari, Positive and Monty G.
Mr. Lynx was given his name for his small size, prowess and amiability, as he is so easygoing. It's been said that he effortlessly "links" up with others"--hence the name Mr. Lynx. On his second solo offering, "Prophetic Fire", he swapped out his gruff DJ sound that was often compared to Red Rat and Mr. Vegas for smooth sailing vocals and meditative melodies. On "Seeds You Sow," Lynx gives us the best of both worlds. "He has an uncanny ability to effortlessly switch from singer to deejay in the blink of an eye," says Christafari front-man Mark Mohr, who has enlisted Lynx to three of the bands songs in the last few years. "He's got the Midas touch; everything he touches becomes a hit."
The wealth of diversity that this gifted father of two brings to the table doesn't just stop at his vocal style. Lyrically, the album addresses a host of subjects from love (I've Got Love) and loss (Not Forgotten) to encouragement (Live Your Life For Christ) and judgment (Put We Down). For 16 tracks Lynx is a distinguished wordsmith, cleverly syncopating his thick Bahamian patois lyrics over the kick and snare. Whether he is worshipping the Lord (Love You In Truth) or rebuking sin (Not Going Down featuring Monty G), Mr. Lynx never ceases to captivate with every note and inspire with every word.
The overall theme of the album is the seeds we sow today we will reap on judgment day. When asked about his ministry, Mr. Lynx said, "My goal is to reach people of all races, colors and creeds with the message of Jesus Christ, through gospel reggae, so that they turn away from their sin and receive eternal life." This theme is apparent in his captivating choruses throughout as he challenges all listeners to "Choose this day whom you'll serve" and to "Live your life for Christ."
