Gyptian, cuyo nombre real es Windel Beneto Edwards, nació el 25 de octubre de 1983 en la comunidad de King Weston, ubicada en la parroquia de St. Andrew, Jamaica. Criado en una familia profundamente religiosa, Gyptian fue expuesto desde temprano a la música gospel en la iglesia. Su madre, una devota cristiana, y su padre, un rastafari, influyeron de manera significativa en su vida y en su carrera musical.
Desde temprana edad, Gyptian mostró un talento innato para la música. A los siete años, ya cantaba en la iglesia y en eventos comunitarios, deslumbrando a quienes lo escuchaban. A los 18 años, decidió dedicarse profesionalmente a la música. Adoptó el nombre artístico de Gyptian, inspirado por su apodo "Egyptian" debido a su afición por usar pañuelos al estilo faraónico.
En 2004, mientras participaba en un concurso de talentos en Portmore, Gyptian fue descubierto por el productor Kenneth "Mr. Wong" Wilson. Mr. Wong quedó impresionado por el talento y la presencia escénica del joven artista, y decidió llevarlo a su estudio para grabar su primer sencillo, “Serious Times”.

Con el éxito de “Serious Times”, Gyptian rápidamente ganó reconocimiento nacional e internacional. En 2006, lanzó su álbum debut, “My Name is

Royal Balancing
Life over there but all time no matter what the circumstances
Out as many one people
Fight every storm we never fall
Oh
Hey
Oh
Na na na na
Hey
Na na na no
Na na na ne
Na na na no
Na na na
Oh
Listen
What you say
Nobody don't cry
When poor people die
But that's a rich man that they want to let down
One to those and their first line
The Almighty is my F.B.D. guide
You see what I do
And hear when I cry
By His side I always abide
I will abide
Oh yeah
You think you're sad today
But someone life was taken away
Your mother is home crying
A son and daughter no more she will be seen
So tragically
Brutally
The life was taken away
For nothing
Is it because they are the poor man's children
But I say
Nobody don't cry
When poor people die
But that's a rich man that they want to let down
One to those and their first line
The Almighty is my F.B.D. guide
You see what I do
And hear when I cry
By His side I always abide
I will abide
Oh yeah
Walking in the streets not safe anymore
I said no more
Here's two side of laws
One for the rich and one for the poor
You look shabby
That is trade
Brutality Oh
They'll lick you and they'll slam you from the floor
If you get up they'll give you more
That's what it is
When you're living in poverty
That's how it feels
Mr. Rich Man won't you come and spend a day with me
It's no thing
Nobody don't cry
When poor people die
But that's a rich man that they want to let down
One to those and their first line
The Almighty is my F.B.D. guide
You see what I do
And hear when I cry
By His side I always abide
I will abide
Oh yeah
Who steals it? No
Who steals it? No
You don't play with fire won't get burned no
It no easy
Sleeping every night on cathode on the road
When we can afford
Forget the ease from His heavy load
Although every man a little feeding hole
Why is it so?
Nobody don't cry
Nobody don't cry
Nobody don't cry
When poor men die
But I say
Nobody don't cry
When poor people die
But that's a rich man that they want to let down
One to those and their first line
The Almighty is my F.B.D. guide
You see what I do
And hear when I cry
