The Priest from Ballard's Valley
It was not until his teens when he considered a career as a professional singer that Maxi Priest found out that Miller was Uncle Sydney's son. Miller, who was born in Manchester in 1952, took his mother's surname.
Priest is also related to roots singers Fred Locks and Paul Elliott; and rapper Heavy D, whose mother (“Miss Etta”) is also a Ballard's Valley native and his (Priest's) mother's cousin.
