Seth Antonio Bovell better known by his stage name Xcel is a Barbadian singer-songwriter, producer and actor. XCeL was born on the beautiful island of Barbados and lived there until the age
of nine when he moved to the Virgin Islands. XCeL under the name DipKid started a music career
in 2004 with a friend and formed a group called C.T.B which is one of the pioneers of recording
rap music in the Virgin Islands. Their music was distributed throughout schools and played frequently on the radio. But, it came to an end when XCel moved back to Barbados in 2008 and
commenced a solo career under the name SethMus. In 2008-2009 XCel made approximately 200
tracks and released 3 underground mixtapes which were circulated on the streets of Barbados.
