Beyond this Grammy success, Antaeus has a diverse career producing for acclaimed artists and crafting evocative soundscapes as well as his own music - notably Byzantine Meditation. He was born in Patras in Greece but spent his teenage years in Athens before leaving for California when he was 17. His life has taken him from L.A., where he studied, became a DJ, and ended up with a studio in New York, and a chicken farm in Jamaica. It was on that island that he met many notable Jamaicans, including Julian Marley and after their initial collaboration on The Tide is High - a cover of Dancehall star of the 70s John Holt's track (the Blondie version is the one that become world famous), they decided to work on an album.

It was that album Colors of Royal that would win Alexx his first Grammy. And I'm guessing not his last...
