Sons of Mystro

Born in South Florida to a Jamaican father and Barbadian mother, brothers Malcolm and Umoja learned to play violin through South Florida’s public school system, and attended Dillard High School for the Performing Arts.

Together, these brothers are Sons of Mystro. They use their violins to interpret reggae classics, American pop songs, and their own creations accompanied by a DJ and a drummer. They are winners of the Emerging Artist Under 21 Years Old award at IRAWMA (International Reggae and World Music Awards). Their debut recording, “Reggae Strings,” is available now wherever music is streamed or sold. Mentored by Black Violin, these artists’ stars are on the rise.

“Our protégés, Sons of Mystro are an innovative musical force that is ready to take the world by storm.”-Black Violin

“the band dazzled alongside each other, their chemistry drawing the crowd out of the shade and into the open lawn, dancing their way to the stage.” -TropiCult (covering SunFest)
