Christmas Wrapping

Born in South Florida to Jamaican parents, Mickey Ruption became interested in music at a young age and it became evident early on that young Mickey had a natural gift. His ears were quite keen and his sense of pitch was immaculate, as one of his early music teachers marveled. By the time he was a teenager, he was often occupied writing songs and recording them at home, using whatever meager tools he had available. Mickey moved out to Los Angeles to join a new soul/funk outfit that was just starting up as lead vocalist. While in LA, Mickey ran into his cousin, Busta Livingstone who convinced him to move back to Miami to start working on an album of original songs. Busta hooked Mickey up with the production team he's been working with, and soon Mickey had almost 20 songs ready to go. The resulting upcoming debut album, "Life Is A Carnival," plays like a soulful, funky, reggae-tinged electro-pop dream and truly exposes Mickey as a musical force that demands to be heard. While mixing the album and getting it ready to be released, Mickey wrote an original Christmas song, "Christmas Wrapping," that he's releasing now in advance of the full length album. This exclusive single, not to be included on the full-length, is presented here with a bonus acappella and instrumental mix for good measure. This is Mickey's little Christmas gift to his fans while they eagerly await the upcoming full-length
