KYAPI

"THE DON: A Don's Devotion"

In 2002, Kya-Pi took the reggae world by storm with his debut album, entitled "Me U Want". The first

single from the album, also entitled "Me U Want", entered Billboard's Singles Sales Chart at an amazing

No. 8 with a bullet. The album entered Billboard's Top Reggae Chart at No. 6 and remained at No. 3 for

an astonishing eight consecutive weeks. Considering Kya-Pi's competition, as reported by The Jamaica

Online Star, Kya-Pi's spot on the charts was a tremendous accomplishment.

Kya-Pi was listed as one of reggae's top acts in 2002 ending on a high note. The other acts included Sean

Paul, Shaggy, the Reggae Gold 2002 Compilation, Beenie Man and Bob Marley's Legends.

Determined to reach even higher, Kya-Pi went back into the studio and cut a revised version of the "Me

U Want" album for 2003. The new album contains a dancehall version and unique hip-hop track with an

R&B twist. The CD single also includes the original radio and dub versions of the hit song.

With the combination of the old and new mixes, Kya-Pi is prepared to go after both radio and club play.

And, the rising star has included samples from the "Me U Want" album and excerpts from his planned

2003 year-end release, entitled "In Da Mood."

Born in St. Andrews, Jamaica, Kya-Pi, listened to many of the reggae greats in his country and throughout

the world and worked on ways to put his imprint in the popular genre. In the mid-1980s, the aspiring young

artist, whose musical heritage includes the legendary Bunny Wailer, left Jamaica to start a life in New York

City. While living in Brooklyn, New York, Kya-Pi was strongly motivated by the burgeoning hip-hop and rap

music scene and developed deejaying skills while hanging out with his cousin, who was a singer. Thinking

he needed to make another move to further develop his style, Kya-Pi, who also is a writer and actor, headed

South to Miami, Florida, a city probably more known for its Latin and dance music in recent years, but which

also is a key player in the Caribbean music scene.

The young artist is determined to make his mark in today's hot reggae and hip-hop markets and appears to

be well on his way with his latest offering. He recently toured as one of the acts in the Annual Legends of

Rasta Reggae Festival, which features the next generation of reggae and World Beat music superstars,

further solidifying his spot as one of dancehall's newest sensations.

As you listen to the "Me U Want" album, you will find that Kya-Pi's music will appeal to the masses and,

as he says, "take reggae music to a higher and greater level." Although many of the tracks on his album

are of reggae origin, elements of hip-hop, R&B, Roots reggae and gospel can also be heard.

The album features Lil Genius, a producer, artist and musician who has worked with Jamaica dancehall

artists such as Red Rat, and Bounty Killer, who released a hit single with No Doubt in 2002. Producers/musicians

include: Chris Garvey, who produced Ky-mani's " Warrior"; P.B. Floyd, who also is the arranger and coordinator

of the 'Me U Want" project; Connis Vanterpool, a well-know producer of international world music and whose hit

"God's Been Good" is featured on Trick Daddy's "Thug Holiday" album; and Money D, remix producer of Mad

Money Production and who provided the remix for the hip-hop version of "Me U Want."

Kya-Pi's music personifies positive vibes, international music that reaches everyone. Because of his talent and

versatility, it is a sure guarantee that he will have a multicultural appeal and crossover all boundaries, pleasing the

young and the youthful, as well as the old and seasoned.

One listen to "A Don's Devotion" album and you will agree that Kya-Pi definitely is an artist you'll want in your music library.
