In the world of Caribbean music, a new chapter is being written by an artist whose dedication to the craft resonates through his melodies. Christopher Pistol, known professionally as Krypys Music, has unveiled his latest EP, “Velléité,” a work that is the culmination of years of passion, learning, and personal evolution.
Born into the vibrant rhythms of Reggae/Dancehall that permeated the sound systems of Le Gosier in Guadeloupe around the 2000s, Krypys was drawn to music from a young age. The city’s pulsating beats served as a backdrop to his formative years and spurred the beginning of his musical journey.
In 2005, inspiration struck, leading Krypys to pen his first lyrics. With a guitarist father and DJ uncle as his mentors, he embarked on a path of self-taught music production, starting from scratch with recycled materials. This hands-on approach laid the foundation for what would become a lifelong pursuit.
The turning point came with his encounter with French Rap, its melancholic melodies captivating him and adding a new layer to his musical identity. Joining forces with the Gosier Tush group formed by Yaboy Yk, Krypys was part of the Quadrupled, showcasing his talents to the public with performances in 2007 and 2008.
Following the dissolution of the group in 2009, Krypys met Skindark, who introduced him to a world of innovation, research, and self-development. The ensuing years saw Krypys hone his craft, not only as an artist but also behind the scenes, balancing audiovisual engineering with music production.
Krypys Music’s journey was one of a perfectionist at a crossroads, wrestling with his dual identities as an artist and an audiovisual engineer. The resolution came in the form of establishing his own label, expanding possibilities and guiding independent artists by providing affordable micro-services to alleviate production burdens.
Now, Krypys Music is poised to make up for lost time. His EP “Velléité,” available on all streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music, is a testament to his journey. It is an invitation to experience the depth of his artistry, the blend of his Caribbean roots with the allure of French Rap, all distilled into a collection of tracks that are as authentic as they are innovative.
