Born to a Seventh-day Adventist mother Pauline McCaulsky and Rastafarian father, Edwards received his musical calling at the age of seven, when he began singing in the church. He grew up in a small community in Rural St. Andrew, Jamaica called King Weston District. Recognizing his talent, his parents introduced him to Mr. Wong, a record producer from Portmore, St. Catherine. "I did not take it seriously," said Edwards "My family members have always been carrying me to Portmore to see him, but I usually disappear. One day, they dropped me off at his studio and left me and it all began there."[1]
Under the guidance of Mr. Wong and Earl Chinna Smith, Gyptian honed his sound, winning the 2004 Star Search talent competition at Kens Wild Flower Lounge in Portmore, earning him a spot at Sting 2004, dubbed the 'greatest one night reggae show on earth'.

I heard you say to me you wanna be my number one
So let's talk about it, sister, now the game has just begun
So if you wanna be my number one,
If you wanna be my number one

I heard you telling friends that you are my number one
But not yet, my little sister, now the game has just begun
So if you wanna be my number one,

'Cause what is to be got to be
So if you wanna be my number one, tell me,
if you wanna be my number one
Let me know your future plans, won't you sister
