SPENXSHELL was born and raised in the garrison of Kingston Waterhouse in Jamaica 🇯🇲, a place known as SAMACAN. 
 As many youth the eyes have seen and been through a lot in these streets which led to the passion for music to relief any form of discomfort. Long Nights in the studio with the presence of veteran Artists like the late JOHN WAYNE, JOHN HOLT, BURRO BANTON, NITTY KUTCHIE, BABY WAYNE, MAJOR MACKEREL & FLOURGON influenced him while growing up. 
 With his childhood friends DOTTA COPPA, PRINCE VILLA, RAS GOUDIE, ROOTLESS & KAZMO he formed a crew where all were Upcoming Artists, except of PRINCE VILLA who was the man behind the instruments and production. 
 At this time his Dj name was LOVESPEN, a nick name that sticked after a curse out from his mother because he didn’t saved money in front his peers one day. Later on based on toughness, talent and demeanor people in and around the community of Red Hills Road started calling him SPENXSHELL. 
 People who hear the name often think of it in a negativ way although it means something totally opposite. The name SPEN comes from LOVESPEN and the X means Xtra Special, Xtra Talented, and the SHELL came into play based on performances at stage shows. In Jamaica after a great performance and a good reception from the audience people gonna say: “YUH SHELL THE SHOW YOUTH”. That’s how the name SPENXSHELL sticked.
