His new album which happens to be his second is titled Nevah Kiss And Tell and this title track is complimented by 15 other solidly arranged and performed pieces which are all more of the cultural roots flavour bringing out the mind of this artiste.

Since the age of seven, Jamaican born singer, songwriter and producer, Mystic Bowie has performed professionally worldwide and recorded with some of the music industry's hippest melody makers...

All his efforts and preparation led to the official launch of Mystic Bowie’s second album ‘Nevah Kiss and Tell’ was held on Tuesday November 10, at Negril Escape Resort and Spa on One Love Drive (West End), in Negril.

‘Nevah Kiss and Tell’ is an inspiration which came from Mystic Bowie’s many tours and experiences around the world in the last five years.

The album is a compilation of 16 wonderful songs ranging from reggae to congo beats, which were written and produced by Mystic Bowie and published by his own Funky Ska Music Label. The music was arranged by Veteran Guitarist of the USA, Renard Boissiere.

Four of these 16 songs were done in collaboration with special guest artistes, namely Proffessor Nuts and Jah Screw Driver of Jamaica, and Jen Durkin and Christine Tambakis of the USA.

The album cover was designed by Alyson Williams. Photographs on this beautifully designed cover were taken by professional photographer from the USA, Mike Thut.

The launch was attended by representatives from various media houses across Jamaica and overseas; fans who travelled from as far a Europe; other reggae singers who came out to show their support; Reverend Dr. Keith ‘Jo-Jo’ Stewart – Gospel Singer and host pastor of Glory Bound Feature on Vybz 96.3 FM on Sundays and his family; representative of the Negril Chamber of Commerce; his management team and members of his family.

Guest speaker was Mystic Bowie’s adopted father, Mr. L E A Dawes who is and educator in Jamaica. Mr. Dawes spoke about the early days when he met the artiste and nurtured his musical career through various musical competitions, which landed him his first international stage performance in Peru at the age of 13.

The album can be purchased online at Mystic Bowie’s official website
