About Mystic
The Energy and Voice of Roots Reggae
MYSTIC IN BRIEF
Mystic loves fashion which adds to the flair he brings as a natural performer. As a charismatic frontman he not only commands a magnetic stage presence but his versatile vocals add to his electrifying performances.
Born in war-torn Sierra Leone, he fled to Australia seeking a new life, carrying with him the deep spiritual essence of Rastafari and a passion for roots reggae. Mystics penetrating vocal range conveys the soulful spirit of reggae music and express his belief in unity, and love.

A force to be reckoned with on stage and in life, Mystic’s journey has been one of perseverance, passion and unbreakable spirit. He was born in war torn Sierra Leone, fled as a refugee 25 years ago and, after a year in the icy cold North of Norway his refugee status was accepted by Australia.
In his arduous departure from Africa, he met Dom—Mad Collective Connection’s deep voiced baritone. Dom and Mystic crossed paths again in Sydney and met once again on the Gold Coast. Their shared love of roots reggae, belief in Jah, their epic journey and shared life struggle created an unbreakable bond.
As the heartbeat of MCC, Mystic’s versatile vocals and stage presence demands attention. Beyond music he is a fashion professional, often stepping onto the catwalk to express himself through style as much as sound.
The quintessential Rastafarian, he lives by the principles of livity, follows Ital living, and honors ganja as a sacred herb.
Although never married Mystic is a proud father of a son and daughter. His music, his life and his spirit is all about truth, spiritual unity and the power of reggae.
