Prince Mydas

At a smoky bar in 70's Kingston, Jamaica, music pulsates from the speakers. A five-year old boy, in the company of his grandfather, suddenly feels the music and spins in circles as he dances. This is the day Prince Mydas discovers rhythm lives in his soul. This is the moment that births his intense passion for music, a passion that one day will lead him to script and sing the songs he hears in his head. By the end of his schooldays, he will have made the first step towards a career in music – a self-produced single featuring the ballad “So Lost Without You.” The song is accepted by <a href="http://www.bigupradio.com/labelDetail.jsp?lid=87">Jammy's</a>, Jamaica's most successful record label. <br>

With the exposure gained from airplay of his single, Mydas was asked to become lead singer for the acclaimed reggae band, Ruff Kutt. For several years, he learned the art and business of music first-hand as the group opened for <a href="http://www.bigupradio.com/artistDetail.jsp?aid=354">Shabba Ranks</a> and <a href="http://www.bigupradio.com/artistDetail.jsp?aid=3632">Patra </a>on international tours. After a professionally unfulfilling move to Miami, Mydas decided to give the New York music scene a try. Past discussions with the acclaimed producer/manager Robert Livingston led to Mydas's appearance on <a href="http://www.bigupradio.com/artistDetail.jsp?aid=1946">Shaggy</a>'s multi-platinum album, Hotshot. The song “Hope” was featured on the soundtrack of the Kevin Costner movie, For The Love Of The Game and work began immediately on a collection of songs that would showcase Mydas's sensual, silky-smooth voice and writing talent. <br>
