BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Mighty Mystic, aka Kevin Mark Holness, was born in Jamaica, but he spent his formative years in Boston. In his late teens he discovered the city's small but vibrant hip hop scene and began performing as Mystic -- the childhood nickname of his father. He released his debut single "Red" in 2000, and by the middle of the decade he had scored several regional hits including "Riding on the Clouds" and "Revolution". His 2010 debut album Wake Up the World further established him as a reggae force to be reckoned with, drawing him out for extensive touring alongside big reggae acts like Steel Pulse, Damian Marley, and Toots and the Maytals. Mystic's rise continued in 2014 with his sophomore album Concrete World, a critically acclaimed collection that added bounce-worthy tracks like "Cali Green" and "Next Generation" to his vibed-out shows.
