Born Nicholas Levy in the Cassia Park community in Kingston 10, Nyle Banks and
music were an inseparable pair. Growing up, he would find inspiration from musical
greats like Sizzla, Burning Spear, I Wayne, Damian Marley, and Richie Spice, but it
would be his brother, Songwriter/Recording Artiste Neu Mowatt who would ultimately
become his biggest influence. Mowatt made a name for himself in the music scene, and
while Nyle was intrigued by his brother’s talent, it wasn’t until the age of 9 that Nyle
would find himself learning to write songs thanks to Mowatt’s teachings.
During his teen years, Nyle Banks would find himself moving to Portmore, St. Catherine,
and enrolling in High School. Despite the changes, he was still into music as he would
continue to practice his songwriting, and remix some of the popular songs out to
perform them to the delight of his friends. At the age of 12, he decided to take the
journey to becoming a Recording Artiste under the moniker, “Iquent”. He would find
himself performing and recording at various studios in Kingston and Portmore, and by
the age of 14, he released his first single, “Many Nights”. Having gained great feedback
and a favourable amount of airplay from his debut, he realized that he could find
success through a career in music. By the age of 16, he was a member of the Fifth
Element Records camp.
