Currently on the Billboard Charts with his hit single Hold Yuh, Windel Edwards more popularly known as Gyptian, is set for a busy summer.

Now getting heavy rotation on radio stations both home and abroad, the song -- written two years ago, has even been unofficially remixed by Young Money protégé Nicki Minaj, which added to its popularity.

But what influences his music?

Gyptian explained that music has been a part of him since he was a child. He not only sings about life, but also about things that people of various ages can relate to. Referring to what may be perceived as a change from cultural music to a more pop genre; he assured his fans that it isn't a change and that he is simply showing off his versatility.

He continued by stating that the Gyptian we know now is just the tip of the iceberg and there is much more to come in time but the humble person will not change. Expected at Best of the Best, a few charity shows and a myriad of tours this summer, he expects to be living out of his suitcase for a good while as he moves from place to place, spreading the music and passion.

Since his inception into the music industry, Gyptian has been to Africa, Europe the United States and Canada and hopes to move anywhere that the music takes him because music is life itself. His other main projects include getting his protégé Ras Schino out to the public, and completing his yet to be titled album that is expected to be out mostly for international markets in July.

Although he did not want to give away too much about the album, he did state that we can expect a hit collaboration from himself and Cobra and of course a few new videos. Gyptian reminded TEENs to "read more, because it will be better for you in the future."

He also sent his respects for the fans and reminded all Jamaicans that in these times we need to stay alert and be more careful.
