Coming off a successful year, reggae artiste Gyptian has several things in the pipeline which he hopes will propel his career even further.
The artiste recently recorded songs like Duggu Duggu, Come Out that is a collaboration with Chi Ching Ching and Laden and For Your Love. He has also done a collaboration with Shaggy called The Way You Look which is scheduled for release next month.
In addition, Gyptian takes the lead in We Are One Japan that is a tribute to the country that was hit by a major earthquake and tsunami recently. The song also features other artistes like Alison Hinds, Voicemail, Pressure, Wayne Wonder, Michael Rose and Japanese Fumibella.
“So far I’ve been recording a whole lot and doing shows all over,” Gyptian told THE STAR.
Last year, he had a strong year with his song, Hold Yuh, gracing a few Billboard charts. The remix of the song with rapper Nicki Minaj also went on to gain success overseas on various charts. He also received MOBO and Soul Train awards in the best reggae artiste category, as well as numerous nominations locally and abroad.
But living up to last year’s success is not something Gyptian is worried about.
“It is no problem, I just categorise it with the other hits from before,” he said.
Gyptian added that he has a number of collaboration with other international acts lined up but he was reluctant to disclose names until everything has been finalised. Nonetheless, he said he is pleased with their interest to work with him.
“It’s a good feeling when a lot of artistes want to work with us,” Gyptian said.
Meanwhile, he has upcoming tours of the United States, Europe and Canada.
