URBAN MYSTIC
soul recording artist Urban Mystic, will be performing Saturday, April 1st at the Smooth Breeze Music Festival. Brandon Williams, better known by his stage name, Urban Mystic was born and raised the son of a church min- ister in Fort Lauderdale. He developed an interest for music at his father's church.
In 2003, Williams gave
himself the name Urban Mystic which reflects both his street mentality and his singing talent. His debut album, Ghetto Revelations, re- leased on November 30, 2004, included the Billboard R&B hit single "Where Were You." Urban Mystic released his fifth album “Soulful Classics” on July 31, 2015. It was preceded by the release of the singles "No Matter How High" and "Feel Good."
His new single “Computer Lover” off of his upcoming album “Underrated” is highly anticipated to be a number one hit.
Urban Mystic says “Being able to cross over from the urban adult contemporary side along with the main- stream is a great challenge and love.”
