Levi Dexter, born in London in January 1957, is a seminal figure in the neo-rockabilly movement. Immersed in the Teddy Boy subculture of the 1970s, he drew inspiration from rock 'n' roll legends like Gene Vincent and Elvis Presley. In 1977, Dexter founded Levi and the Rockats, a band that blended traditional rockabilly with punk energy, influencing a new generation of musicians. After parting ways with the Rockats in 1979, he pursued a solo career, forming Levi Dexter & The Rip-Chords and later Levi Dexter & The Magic. Dexter's dynamic performances and authentic style have solidified his status as a rockabilly icon, with a career spanning over four decades.
