GYPTIAN

Gyptian is a versatile reggae artist equally known for thoughtful conscious lyrics of hits like his 2005 breakthrough "Serious Times" as he is for urban-influenced swagger on hits such as "Hold Yuh," the pop hit that topped charts globally. The song even caught the attention of Nicki Minaj, who jumped on the remix.

Among Gyptian's many accolades and awards are 'Best Reggae Act' at the MOBO (Music Of Black Origin) Awards, a Soul Train Music Award for 'Best Reggae Artist' and a Gold certification for "Hold Yuh". Gyptian has dominated the charts since 2005 with hits such as the reflective "Serious Times", flirtatious "Beautiful Lady", and the chart-topping ballad, "Mama".
