When ask of his musical influence , Ragga says " Its only Jah could influence i , because the only musical influence i had as a child , was listening to the tapes my fathers would play for passengers in his taxi" .

Ragga Lex , as he was now known , started recording for Rhythm One Records . His debut release came in 1995 with three tracks on a compilation Cd entitled Rhythm One Riddims.

Another beautiful article was published in the Jamaica Observer, featured the picture of popular dancehall deejay "Lexxus" instead , who was at the time using the alias "Mr. Lex" as his nick name , so Ragga decided to go back to the drawing board.
