In a culture where violence and female degradation are prevalent, Columbus hip hop artist Gyfted brings a new flavor to the table. Gyfted has an outlook that far surpasses the shortsighted vision of many of the mainstream artists of today. The recent release of Gyfted's debut CD "Best Kept Secret" reflects his unique insight, with tracks such as "Raisin the Bar", "We Goin Fly", "Stop Fallin", and several others. Gyfted has the unmatched ability to deliver sharp lyricism that provides much needed inspiration while coming with musical backgrounds that can easily be heard in the club or on the radio. One of Gyfted's major influences is Will Smith, although Gyfted draws much inspiration from legendary R&B artists such as Whitney Houston, Marvin Gaye, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, Usher, and Smokey Robinson. Gyfted believes in himself and his music, and there are thousands of others across the nation who share this same belief. The number of Gyfted bookings has skyrocketed, and the demand for Gyfted performances across the country will continue to increase as word continues to spread about this talented, young artist. Gyfted has already performed in big time venues, such as the Apollo Theater in Chicago, and Nationwide Arena in his home base of Columbus, Ohio. Gyfted has a certain stage presence, and puts passion and energy into all of his performances with the help of the WunLuvv Dance Team. The sky is the limit for Gyfted... and he’s bringing his fans along with him. Gyfted IS hip hop’s next generation.
