Kevin Mark Holness (born 11 November 1980), better known as Mighty Mystic, is a Jamaican born, Boston, Massachusetts-based reggae artist.[1] He is the younger brother to current Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness.[2]
Born in St Elizabeth, Jamaica, he moved to Boston at the age of nine with his family.[1] He began performing as 'Mystic' and broke through with his 2006 single "Riding on the Clouds", which received radio airplay across the East coast of the US.[1] He is considered as one of the leaders in the U.S Reggae scene. His debut album Wake up the World 2010 received great reviews and boasted several standouts, such as “Revolution,” “Riding on the Clouds,” “Original Love,” & “Slipped Away” with appearances from reggae icon Shaggy and roots rocker Lutan Fyah. Mighty Mystic continues to wake up the world with his high energy, message driven brand of reggae music which he emphatically calls “HARD ROOTS.” It is this unique spin on classic reggae blended with Hip Hop & Rock that has catapulted him to the forefront of today’s Reggae Revival.[1]
