Artist History
Mind's Eye is the right term to describe the man (DAVID MAGRO born 1969, Paola, MALTA) that has been creative and at the same time has put a brave face 14 years since inception. Various line-ups led by David a.k.a. Mind's Eye pivoted the reggae scene on the island, aiming reggae as a medium for human rights, justice and mankind. Mind's Eye had to convey his message at a time when post 1987 election fever was still running high. Mind's Eye won public and media acclaim with the 1988 'Bob Marley Tribute' concert and his standing was further enhanced by a special 10th Anniversary concert three years later named 'Tribute to Bob Marley 1981-1991 10th Anniversary'. A crucial year for Mind's Eye, his band and the local reggae scene was 1989 when the first foreign reggae band ASWAD performed on the island of Malta. Mind's Eye supported the internationally acclaimed band in the 'Give Peace a Chance' concert. During the same year Mind's Eye penned a song called 'Freedom' which placed third in a song contest held in North Korea. In 1992 Mind's Eye supported the Wailers Band in a concert to remember. More than 12,000 reggae fans attended the event, which marked Mind's Eye as a local forceful Reggae Act. Just one year later i.e. in 1993 Mind's Eye was again requested to support Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers in the 'Joy and Blues' Tour 1993. Mind's Eye along with his band gave a remarkable performance in which all media reports focused on Mind's Eye's outstanding performance. Apart from playing regularly in various places around Malta, Mind's Eye is the tutor of the school for drummers, teaching students the full meaning of drums, techniques and theory. Mind's Eye holds a full-time employment as a Sound Mixing Engineer with the National Public Broadcasting Services Malta.. Owning a small but sturdy recording studio set-up, Mind's Eye produces his own solo material, by writing, playing and mixing music to obtain that unique Afro-Mediterranean Reggae feel. Mind's Eye plays and produces several Signature Tunes for local Reggae radio programs. Among these are Reggae 'n' Stuff at 101 MHz f.m., Reggae Line 92.7 MHz f.m. and Reggae Club 93.7 MHz f.m.. The last one conducted by the 'BADDEST' local Reggae D.J. MANWEL TABONE. All songs of Mind's Eye repertoire are written by MIND'S EYE. |
