Lovell B. Ramsay (born June 30, 1975), better known by his stage name Lolex, is an American record producer, composer. Primarily known for his work in urban pop,reggae and dance music. Lolex has produced albums and singles for a number of artists from the late-1990s to the present day.

Born and raised in Chicago, Lovell B. Ramsay, aka Lolex, is a firm believer in sacrifice, determination and persistence to get the job done. Lovell attributes getting to be the music producer he is now to his early days living in Washington DC, just out of the service, with nothing at all. A group of rock-loving kids let him stay in the basement of their house. This is where he first got his hands on a drum machine. He played around with it, and eventually started working with people programming beats for artists in the local area. He went on tour with some of those local artists and got his first big feel for the entertainment industry. After this, he moved to New York because he had always wanted to get into acting. Once in New York, his plans changed. He started back into the entertainment industry, because this is what he knew. He started in New York putting out records that people were really feeling. Next, he worked with Maxi Priest, an English reggae singer/songwriter. An internationally acclaimed vocalist and one of only 2 UK reggae acts to score an American Billboard Number One, with his song "Close to You" which was released in 1999. Lolex produced ten songs for Maxi's album. During production with Sean Paul of the Youngbloodz came in to Sony Studios in NY to lay down some vocals. Sean Paul came in and killed the track with his lyrics he dropped on the spot, no pen, no paper. Straight fire came out of that track, and wasn't stopping there for Lolex. Next up, he added more names to his hip-hop roster, working in correspondence with Dawn Raid Entertainment, a South Auckland, New Zealand company who's artist Savage was just signed to Universal on May 11th, 2008. Savage's hit "Swing" which was featured in the movie Knocked Up, gained the artist lots of recognition from MTV to BET. Lolex has been working hard in the studio with Savage laying down tracks that you better believe will be hits. Lovell's devotion to the entertainment industry is like he says. "It's not about money and success. It's about loyalty and respect." Without people like him in the industry, the game would go cold. Lolex definitely keeps things on fire!
