EXCO LEVI’S SONG “WELCOME THE KING” IS INCLUDED IN CANADIAN FILM “CAMELION!”

 Exco Levi—

Jamaican-born Canada-based reggae act Exco Levi has added another accolade to his growing list. His award-winning track Welcome the King has been included in the soundtrack of the Canadian film Camelion.

According to the artist he is pleased to have contributed his work to this latest project.

“I am happy to have my music included in the film Camelion. The storyline is something I’m a little familiar with, which is coming to a new country and trying to make it. I can’t wait to see the movie to know if their outcome is like mine.”

Exco Levi has the distinction of making history with Canada’s JUNO Awards for which he has won Best Reggae Recording on four consecutive occasions. His most recent win was earlier this year.
