TwitterMystic Bowie’s “Nevah Kiss & Tell” Album Launch
September 18, 2009
Westmoreland, Jamaica: 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...
Born Fitzroy Alexander Campbell in the community of Lacovia, St. Elizabeth, a descendant of the Maroon Tribe — the only remaining unified tribe in Jamaica — he was given his tribal name, Mystic Bowie, by elders based on powers they sensed in him.
The residents of the Lacovia community take great pride telling all about their community, where Mystic Bowie was born, because he helps children of the community with School supplies and motivation to stay in school.
Mystic became a singer for the Jamaica Tourist Board as a child, performing as many as 2-3 times a day all over the island at different resorts. Between the ages of 9 and 14, Mystic made three (3) recordings for Jack Ruby Records ("Back to Jamaica, "Happy Hut," "Whiny Whiny").
He was 13 when he first left the island to perform abroad and 14 when he left his tribal home and family, moving on his own to Negril. Then as now, he continued to obey the core tribal rules and values — no alcohol, no drugs, no impurities polluting the body. At the age of 17, Mystic moved to Birmingham, England to study at the University of Birmingham. Upon completion, Mystic moved to the United States.
Mystic Bowie has returned to Jamaica on a regular basis to attend to his humanitarian projects as well as to perform in concerts on the North Coast. This year he will be returning Jamaica to launch his latest album “Nevah Kiss & Tell”, on November 10, 2009, at the Negril Escape Resort and Spa in Westmoreland.
“Nevah Kiss & Tell” is an inspiration which came from his many tours and experiences around the world in the last five years. Some of the songs are done in collaboration with special guest artistes, such as “Professor Nuts” (Jamaica), “Jen Durkin” (USA), “Christine Tambakis” (USA) and “Jah Screw Driver” (Jamaica)
The 4 singles “Nevah Kiss & Tell”; “Nevah Run Away”; “Music Is My Drug of Choice” and “Conga Line” were chosen by fans at shows where he performed.
The album features 10 other songs which will be released for digital downloads only, with many other special guests. Some of these guests featured on the album are working with Mystic in an effort to showcase their talents. Mystic will be producing some of their songs on his own Funky Ska Music label.
Recently Mystic has been appearing on stages all over including the USA and British Columbia Canada. All his tours were successful, especially in British Columbia Canada. Due to his success, organizers of the “Okanagan Film festival” approached Mystic to make a short film about him to enter into the Okanagan Film fest.
Immediately after the Launch in Jamaica he will be traveling British Columbia Canada to shoot the film on December 1, 09.
