Born Elliot Mccarrel Laurence, in French Saint Martin. He comes from a family of musicians, it was destined that Ambassa Da Lion would one day become a distinguished world travelling artist. With a humble beginning, similar to many other historic renowned musicians, Da Lion began his singing career in a church choir at the age of 5. His passion for all styles of music, especially Reggae, Soca, and Hip-hop, combined with his ability to speak in different tongues, led Da Lion to not only sing but rap and chant in different languages.

With years of performing and songwriting under his belt, along with sharing the stage with the likes of Beenie Man, Capleton, Saël and Junior Kelly, Da Lion ventured off to the island of Jamaica where he would write, produce and record his first official album "The Journey...No Matter What".His conscious lyrics and uncanny ability to change vocal octaves at moment’s notice caught the attention of a few legendary producers from Jamaica (John Meatley, Cash Flow Records. JT Productions, Black Scorpio, Colly Budd, and JB Senior from Big Yard) which led to future collaborations. Da Lion’s strong sense of creative freedom, his do for self-mentality, coupled with a strong team around him, inspired Da Lion to establish his own record label, "Starliner Records", in which he released his first album in February 2006. The launch of "The Journey...No Matter What" was followed up with a performance with Richie Spice and Kiprich at the French St Martin Carnival and from there catapulted a world tour. While on tour Da Lion recorded and released his second album “Stand Firm". Over the years Ambassa Da Lion has become known for his stage performance. Never afraid to push the envelope, his shows are always exciting and high energy. Whether it be his unique and stylish costumes, beautiful and exuberant dancers, creative background animations, singing while in a headstand or split, Da Lion is sure to put on a show that the fans will never forget.
