La prestigiosa disquera VP Records ha editado 'My Name Is Gyptian', uno de los álbunes mas esperados del año... 'My Name Is Gyptian' es el primer CD del vocalista jamaiquino Gyptian a.k.a. (Windell Edwards), quien saltó a la fama musical en el 2005 luego del rotundo exito que tuvo con su cancion: 'Serious Times', un gran sencillo, que alcanzo anticipadamente un buen lugar entre los mejores hits del año pasado en la isla. El joven y talentoso artista se destaca por la combinacion de diversos elementos entre su tonalidad y melodia. El album-debut incluye: 'Beng Beng', 'Mama' producido por DJ Flava (No Doubt records), y el exito en la actualidad: 'Beautiful Lady' producido por Ray Stephens (Vertex Productions) canciones todas exitosas en los listados de Jamaica y que le han permitido al cantante construir una atractiva y solida audiencia internacional. Otras canciones de esta produccion: 'You Never Know’ producida por Arthur Whale (Free Willy Productions), Is There a Place, Keep On Knocking, School Girl, Around The World, Take Me Higher, Take My Money, entre otras. Edwards comenzó su carrera musical como muchos otros artistas jamaiquinos en los coros de la iglesia. El Nombre 'Gyptian' quiere decir 'Real African' un apodo ligado a las bondades y el positivismo de la vida. Tambien el estilo particular que tiene para enrollarse su camiseta en la cabeza simulando a los faraones egipcios. 'My Name is Gyptian' es una produccion ejecutiva de Kemar McGregor y VP Records.
