Gyptain best known hits include Serious Times, Mama, Beautiful Lady, I Can Feel Your Pain, Love Against The Wall, Hold You and She's My Lady.
Born to a Seventh-day Adventist mother and Rastafarian father, Gyptian received his musical calling at the age of seven, when he began singing in the church. Recognizing his talent, his parents introduced him to Mr. Wong, a record producer from Portmore, St. Catherine. "I did not take it seriously," said Gyptian "My family members have always been carrying me to Portmore to see him, but I usually disappear. One day, they dropped me off at his studio and left me and it all began there."
Under the guidance of Mr. Wong and Earl Chinna Smith, Gyptian honed his sound, winning the 2004 Star Search talent competition at Kens Wild Flower Lounge in Portmore, earning him a spot at Sting 2004, dubbed the 'greatest one night reggae show on earth'.
The singer earned his nickname from his habit of tying a shirt around his head and twisting his chin hair like an Egyptian pharaoh.
In 2005 he scored two hits, "Is There A Place" on the Seasons Riddim and "Serious Times".
Nominated for Best New Entertainer at the 2006 International Reggae and World Music Awards, the twenty-three year old singer has been dominating the Jamaician charts with hits including "Is There a Place", "Beautiful Lady", and the chart-topping ballad, "Mama, Don't Cry".
His style of reggae music is considered lovers rock and roots reggae, with songs about political issues and love. His musical and lyrical style has been compared to established Jamaican artists, such as Sizzla, Luciano and Beres Hammond.
On 12 September 2006, Gyptian released his first album on VP Records. On 12 December 2007, Gyptian, while in New York, shot the music video for his new single, "I Can Feel Your Pain" (Cloud Nine Riddim) Produced by Jon FX. The song was the first to be confirmed to appear on his album "I Can Feel Your Pain" which was released in 2008.
As of the end of May 2010, his single "Hold Yuh" had peaked at number 91 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 33 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Chart, number 6 on the Billboard Heatseekers Songs Chart and had been at the top of the Reggae Digital Songs chart for nine consecutive weeks. In June, the song re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 and eventually reached a new peak of 77 on that chart, number 3 on the Heatseekers Songs chart, 31 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Chart, 63 on the Radio Songs chart and an astonishing peak of 28 on the Billboard Rhythmic Top 40, capitalizing it crossover success. The song also peaked at number 1 on the Dancehall/Reggae fusion Charts of the Jamaica Weekly Music Charts for two consecutive weeks. In Canada it peaked at #69 on the Canadian Hot 100. The official remix for the song features rapper Nicki Minaj. It spent 29 weeks on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Chart and 15 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.
Gyptian has been enjoying chart success with his new album, Hold Yuh, which continues to hold the #2 spot on Billboard’s Reggae Albums Chart. The title track, “Hold Yuh,” has become a multi-chart hit worldwide and deemed a “2010 Summer Anthem.” According to Billboard Magazine “not since Wayne Wonder's "No Letting Go," has an underground reggae artist garnered as much attention in the United States as Jamaica's own Gyptian.” The song also became popular in the UK, and was released there on November 7 by Ministry of Sound Recordings, in an EP which will include remixes by Shy FX, Major Lazer and Toddla T.

Baby, yeah
All the babies, all the babies all the girls
All my lady, yeah
Oh, hey
[Refrain]
On n'a qu'une seule vie, girl, tu me donnes trop chaud
Allez, viens vite te glisser dans mon lit
Il s'agit pas de se marier
Mais de kiffer ensemble le temps d'une nuit
Dehors, il fait froid
Et j'entends même le bruit de la pluie
Allez, viens te mettre à l'abri
Baby
[Couplet 1]
Girl, ton p'tit boule me fait comme un film d'Hitchcock
Wow, quand tu bouges, je suis toujours sous le choc
N'aies pas peur de venir chez moi
T'inquiète pas, j'ai des capotes, je vais pas te mettre en cloque
Sur le matelas ou dans la cuisine
J'te laisse le choix de la scène du crime
Je serai Sherlock Holmes et toi la victime
Et, si t'as peur, viens avec une copine

C'est toi que j'veux voir dans le prochain Spielberg
T'es tellement chaude que tu fais fondre les icebergs
Tu es la cause du réchauffement climatique
Tu causes des troubles et, ça, c'est systématique
Même les papys, mon Général De Gaulle
Sont repartis pour un tour de la gaule
Ton corps vaut plus que des millions d'dollars
Tu es plus bad que de l'or
[Refrain]
On n'a qu'une seule vie, girl, tu me donnes trop chaud
Allez, viens vite te glisser dans mon lit

Ne perdons plus d'temps, c'est bien trop tentant
Allez, viens me rejoindre (allez, viens me rejoindre)
Je n'ai qu'une seule bouche mais, pour toi, baby, je deviendrai bilingue
Comment t'le dire ? (Comment t'le dire ?)
Approche-toi que je déboutonne tes fringues

Aussitôt que le jour se lève, tu es dans ma tête
Tu hantes mes pensées, je n'en sortirai pas inerte
Car tu as ton copain et tu tiens à lui, c'est net
Mais girl, écoute ça
Te dire que je n'veux pas te détourner, s'rait malhonnête
Tellement tu contrôles mes réactions, telle une marionnette
Pourquoi cela tourne-t-il ainsi?
Oha
Laisse-moi être celui qui partage ta vie
Oui, celui à qui tu te confies
Nul ne saura te comprendre mieux que moi
Donne moi ma chance tu verras
Au pire, celui, qui partage ta nuit
Passer quelques heures avec toi dans ce lit
Je saurai prendre soin de toi
Laisse-moi ma chance, tu verras
Mais t'imagines même pas c'que j'ressens pour toi
Un truc de dingue, j'peux même pas mettre un mot sur ça
J'aurais jamais pensé qu'un jour j'en arriverasi là
Non, le style fleur bleue, c'est vraiment pas moi
Mais j'peux rien y faire, il faut que je l'exprime
Un amour sincère dans un monde où le sexe prime
Donc je cesse frime et t'exprime mon estime girl
Tu seras ma Sylvia et moi ton Mesrine
Laisse-moi être celui qui partage ta vie
Oui, celui à qui tu te confies
Nul ne saura te comprendre mieux que moi
Donne-moi ma chance, tu verras
Au pire, celui qui partage ta nuit
Passer quelques heures avec toi dans ce lit
Je saurai prendre soin de toi
Laisse moi ma chance, tu verras
Devant ton charme exotique, je fonds comme Kim
Sensuellement ultime, limite coquine
Copine, profiter de la vie c'est la doctrine
Docteur, à mes heures perdues selon le timing
Doc Reyel pas Gynéco
Des problèmes de gals, ouais, je nnais-co
J'ai étudié la chose à mon école
Celle des guadeloupéens d'la grande époque
Laisse-moi être celui qui partage ta vie
Oui, celui à qui tu te confies
Nul ne seras te comprendre mieux que moi
Donne moi ma chance, tu verras
Au pire, celui qui partage ta nuit
Passer quelques heures avec toi dans ce lit
Je saurai prendre soin de toi
Laisse moi ma chance, tu verras
J'veux être celui qui t'accompagne, que tu sois ma compagne
Qu'on s'fasse des purs voyages, t'inquiètes, ça sera pas la campagne
À basses données en pagne, on pète le champagne
À Miami, Le Brésil, Le Maroc ou L'Espagne
Le reste j'te l'épargne, ouais j'te l'épargne
2, 3 bisous, un câlin sous la couette et pam (wouh)
Faut que j'redescende sur Terre
Je n'ai même pas encore ton tél'
Laisse-moi être celui qui partage ta vie
Oui, celui qui brave tes interdits
Nul ne saura te comprendre mieux que moi
Donne moi ma chance, tu verras
Au pire, celui qui partage ta nuit
Passer quelques heures avec toi me suffit
Je saurai prendre soin de toi
Laisse moi ma chance, tu verras
Tu verras, tu verras, je s'rai celui-là (Oh, no)
J'te le dit, j'te le dit, je s'rai celui-ci
Tu verras my girl, et tu verras my girl, no
J'te le dit, j'te le dit je serai celui
