Gyptian - Hold You

Online, June 30, 2010 (Newswire.com) - June 30, 2010, New York, NY - VP Records recording artist and crossover success story, Gyptian, is slated to release "HOLD YOU" on July 20. The 15 track CD includes the summer jam, "Hold You," which has held the #1 spot on Billboard´s Reggae Singles Chart for 9 consecutive weeks and is currently climbing the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart as well as the R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Chart. iTunes will offer two exclusive tracks for fans.

With "HOLD YOU" Gyptian introduces the World to the new era of Sexy Reggae Music as he dedicates this album "to the ladies across the globe." NPR (National Public Radio) has even stated Gyptian is "swoon-worthy stuff."

Gyptian was raised in the rural King Weston district in the parish of St. Andrew by his Christian mother Pauline and his Rastafarian father, Basil. Neither parent dictated their son's spiritual path but both encouraged his musical talent; thus Gyptian, who earned his nickname because he often wrapped shirts around his head in the style of an Egyptian pharaoh, sang at his mother's Sunday morning church services and at the Saturday night dances promoted by his father who owned the Sugar Stone sound system.

Gyptian is currently touring internationally in support of the worldwide release. Upcoming U.S. stops include Los Angeles (July 4), Washington, D.C. (July 8), Orlando (July 10), Atlanta (July 15), and New York (July 18 and July 20).
