Meet our Drummer and Rhythm Master "Pipe"
His love for drums and music in general started off at a very young age. Basically you can say that he was physically born in it as he grew up in a home and community where music was always playing. In those days a real drumset was difficult to come by so he started out playing on buckets and cardboard boxes. Pipe also enjoyed great moments with a few of his Family Members, particularly his cousin Joy Carty who acted as a Singer while he played a rhythm on an old steel pan which he found at the back of the Carnival Village. This was their routine after School every afternoon.
The first actual band with real instruments that he played with, was a band called Wildouts led by Porky Man who is well known local calypsonian in Anguilla. This encouraged him to invest in his own personal electrical drumset. From there, he branched off and played with several top Musicians and Entertainers such as, Dumpa Martin, Hot Shot, Gossip, Boss, Exodus Band, Darvin Mussington, De Movements Band, Axa Band, Omari Banks, Better Band and Mystic Vybz Band who he is presently a Member of.. During this time, some of his highlights was the opportunity to travel to different islands such as Grenada, England and SXM, where he represented Anguilla musically.
Pipe is the original Drummer for Mystic Vybz Band and has been there from its inception in 2016.
Meet our male lead singer
From a tender age, Tyree always enjoyed music.
Tr. Roxanna of VPS is one to thank for discovering him, she quickly recognised his brewing talent and encouraged him to join the VPS school choir, in which he did.
You can say that was the start of it all.
As the years went on, he continued to engage himself in all things music:
In grade 5 he officially started music lessons at Tranquility school of music with the late Tr. Ashena Desouza.
In first form he joined the ALHCS School Choir under the direction of Ms. Daphne Jacobs-Richardson which followed the direction of Ms. Kimba Southwell after her retirement. And throughout his high-school education he became an active member of the ALHCS Concert Band and ALHCS Steel Orchestra.
However, it was in 5th form after placing 3rd in the region for the CSEC MUSIC examination where his passion for music was truly solidified.
After completing 6th form he received the opportunity to join Mystic Vybz, a band of talented musicians who has not only helped shape him into the performer he is today but also, individuals that he can truly call family.
He lives by the words of Nelson Mandela, ‘It always seems impossible until it’s done’ which brings great comfort to the ambiguity of the performing arts industry in Anguilla.
Meet the Manager himself, Mystic Vybz Band Founder & Bass guitarst
Troy started his career in music at the early age of 16, where he began taking Piano Lessons due to his great love for the Piano and even reached as far as Level 5 in Music practical ABRSM. Growing up, he always enjoyed listening to various genres of music and had a particular love for Reggae Music, which encouraged him to join a Reggae Band here in Anguilla at the age of 20 as the band’s Keyboardist.
Upon completing University in 1997, Troy joined other Bands here in Anguilla, where he also played the Keyboard…However, during that time, he developed a great interest in the Bass Guitar and started practicing and learning different things on the instrument. eventually, his focus shifted immensely from the Keyboard to Bass. Since that time, he has played the Bass Guitar for locally and internationally renowned musicians such as The Mussington Brothers, Omari Banks, and many more. In 2016, he formed Mystic Vybz Band, where he now plays the Bass Guitar.
It’s hard to acknowledge Troy’s involvement in the arts and entertainment without acknowledging his great love and passion for encouraging and developing the Youths in their love for music.

Leroy John
Meet Leroy John. One of our Fire Keyboardists
Growing up in a family environment of music and with both parents being passionate singers and musicians, it was conducive and made it natural to adopt the hobby of playing musical instrument(s).
Guitar, harmonicas, keyboard, recorder flutes, steel pan and tambourines, were instruments Leroy and his siblings were exposed to. Nevertheless, of all the mentioned instruments that were purchased by their parents along with the steel pan that was made by his Dad, none was more appealing to him like drumming. Growing up, he and his brothers would improvise by knocking on buckets, desktops, pans and pots which was their daily itinerary… It wasn’t until Leroy’s first year of High school that he decided to take keyboard seriously. He embraced the idea that it can sound like every other musical instrument and fits best in any music genre… He has been playing keyboard (piano) ever since….currently, he is proudly one of the Keyboardist for Mystic Vybz Band…
