At
the age of 19, Urban Mystic, an up-and-coming
singer/songwriter/producer, is in the midst of redefining contemporary
r&b with the release of his debut album, "Ghetto Revelations."
"Ghetto Revelations" is due for release in October 2004
on SoBe Entertainment/WMG. Mystic's name reflects the combination
of luscious vocals and street flair present on his sultry tracks. He's
poised to resurrect the rhythm that is undeniably absent from today's
rhythm and blues.
Urban Mystic,
christened Brandon Williams, the youngest of four, was born and raised
in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The son of a minister and church organist, Mystic
realized at a very young age that music was in his soul. After nearly a
decade of performing in his father's church, before supportive family
and congregation, his vocal range, style and abilities grew
phenomenally. At the age of 13, Mystic convinced his family that
he was destined for greatness as a singer, and began studying the
business and craft of music under the watchful eye of his older brother
Christopher.
In the short number of
years since first realizing his purpose in life, Mystic has added
a number of rather impressive accolades to his artistic resume. In
addition to being a talented singer/songwriter/producer/musician, he has
made appearances in a national SPRITE advertising campaign and an
independent film produced by Big Baller Records, which is distributed by
SONY, entitled "Ghetto Fabulous" (1999).
Among Mystic's
influences and inspirations, he includes his brother Christopher, Al
Green, Bobby Womack, KC and the Sunshine Band, K-Ci & JoJo, Usher
and Dave Hollister. On "Ghetto Revelations," Mystic
has enlisted the help of producing giants KayGee (Jaheim, Next, Naughty
By Nature), Red Spyda (Jadakiss, Twista, Lloyd Banks) and El DeBarge,
who also lent his sexy vocals to the soulful track, "Mystic's
Spot."
When asked what he loves
most about performance and music, Mystic replied "I love
being able to express myself; when I perform, I forget I'm on stage. I
just close my eyes and get in the zone." If his first single,
"Where Were You?," is any indication of Urban Mystic's
God-given talent, then this young man is sure to please neo-soul and old
school r&b listeners alike, who long for soul and rhythm to make a
re-appearance in good urban music.
