Official Bio

Born Andrew Cartwright in Freeport Grand Bahamas, it was evident from an early age that Mr. Lynx was blessed with the gift of music. "I am a mix child," said Lynx, "or what we Bahamains called 'conkyjoe', meaning I have a white Bahamian father and a black Mother. My father and mother are both singers and they inspired and encouraged me to sing also." He began singing from the age of six, but it was at age sixteen that he gave his life to Christ and started using his talents for the glory of God. Shortly after his cousin Monty G started Lion of Judah Sounds, Lynx, along with Monty G, Poppa Willy and Yankee formed the group "Lion's Pride".

In 2004 Lynx ventured into his solo career releasing his freshman effort, "Living Furnace". This top selling critically acclaimed disc was an overnight success, instantly galvanizing him as one of the most influential gospel reggae artists on the scene. With an aggressive deejay style, Lynx tore up the dancehalls with his spitfire lyrics. When asked to define his signature style, Lynx described it as, "Prophetic songs with hard hitting beats and a fiery delivery of truth." But things have changed a lot for this young dread over the last year. His style has developed and his sound has matured. On "Prophetic Fire", his sophomore release, Lynx has swapped his scorching dancehall style for a more melodious roots sound--the deejay has become a singer.

Mr. Lynx was given his name for his small size, prowess and amiability, as he has been labeled easygoing. It has been said that he effortlessly "links" up with others"--hence the name Mr. Lynx. And on this easygoing album Lynx will make a lot more friends. Surprising many with his vocal transformation, he has become a mature singer with a sound release full of mellow contemporary roots reggae with a dash of R&B and songs of praise and worship.

Exclusive Interview with GospelReggae.com

1. (GospelReggae.com) Tell us about yourself, where were you born and grow up, what your family is like, etc...

Mr. Lynx: Well I was born on the island of the Bahamas called Freeport. I have one sister, two nephews and two Nieces. I'm a mixed child--or what we Bahamians call a "conkyjoe", meaning that I have a white Bahamian father and black mother

2. (GospelReggae.com) How did you begin doing music?

Mr. Lynx: My Father and Mother are both singers they inspired me and pushed me to sing.

3. (GospelReggae.com) Tell me, how did your name come about? Any obstacles with it--funny mispronunciations, etc…?

Mr. Lynx: "I was always a very friendly person. I could get along with almost anyone, so some of my friends just jokingly said "you is link up with anyone aye?" And that was it--Then Monty G said, "Yeah, and he's small just like a lynx!" Then I decided to learn more about the lynx cat and found out that it's a very dangerous creature. It may look innocent, but it is really very vicious--and so am I to Satan's kingdom."
