Gypsy Soul

Posted by TheGatheringSpace

Acoustic Rock, Pop, Blues & Jazz

Gypsy Soul's multicultural heritage helps inform both its message and sound, attracting audiences with its soulful blend of Acoustic Rock, Pop, Blues, and Jazz.

However, it's the stories about the songs and their experiences traveling the country and the world as first-generation immigrants (from first-generation immigrants) that make their shows so personal and memorable.

"A musical marriage that spans the globe, a self-invented, organic sound that has roots in rock and soul, country and folk, blues.... with vocals and lyrics intertwined like a pair of life-long partners inspiring others to follow their dreams.” - Hits Daily Double Magazine

Like its creators, their music is much like fine fusion cuisine; Italian, Irish, South African and Ukrainian to be precise.

British-born Morykit, is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer whose musical roots go back to his childhood training in classical piano. After several years in London as a sought-after studio musician and also fretless bassist for the emerging band Raising Cain (with whom he was signed to A&M Records,) Roman relocated to Edinburgh, Scotland to pursue new musical opportunities.

There he met Canadian-born singer/lyricist Swann, who had also recently relocated to Edinburgh after years of traveling in Europe and living in Paris, singing with famed French Jazz artist, Alain Mion. The two began writing and recording together and quickly fell in love. Love led to marriage, marriage led to relocating to Hollywood, and while in Hollywood, Gypsy Soul was born.

"Roman’s fluid guitar embraces Cilettes’ soulful vocals as they forge a musical journey of deep questions, curiosities and illuminations.” - Sue Ennis (Heart)

Over their 25 year professional career, the pair have had a Top 40 A/C hit with “Silent Tears” and have won numerous songwriting and performance awards including: International Acoustic Music Awards, Independent Music Awards, Lilith Fair, Performing Songwriter’s Top DIY Artists, Just Plain Folks and others.

Morykit, Gypsy Soul’s producer shares that he feels Cover Story, their most recent CD, is their most unique to date. "It truly was a labour of love,” states Morykit. “We had to take our time with the recording, not by choice, but after a near death experience with Covid. I was unable to record for almost 5 months which forced us to really think about what we wanted to say with the album.”
