Gyptian

Gyptian (born Windel Beneto Edwards) is a Jamaican reggae and dancehall singer who recently had success with Hip Hop and R&B crossover tracks.  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 dominated the Jamaician charts with hits including "Is There a Place", "Beautiful Lady", and the chart-topping ballad, "Mama, Don't Cry".

In May 2010, Gyptian’s single "Hold You (Hold Yuh)" peaked at number 91 on the Billboard Hot 100 and rose to number 33 on theBillboard R&B/Hip-Hop Chart. 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.
