Reggae artiste and songwriter Tydal recently returned to the island after completing a three-week tour of the United States.

The Master One recording artiste utilised the opportunity to promote his recently released EP Journey of a Young Warrior.

According to Tydal, the tour was an eye-opener and he gained a lot of new fans over the period.

"I gained a lot of experience and exposure performing for people from different cultures. I also promoted my new EP and in the process won the hearts of every fan and promoter in every single venue that we performed," said Tydal.

Tydal was accompanied on the tour by singer G Whizz.

The tour began on April 18 and ended on May 10. It made stops at various club venues in Alabama, Columbus, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and North and South Carolina.

Since its release in February, Tydal's Journey of a Young Warrior, has been well received. Songs from the project which fans have been receptive towards both locally and overseas include Somewhere In Africa, Street Life and Silent Warrior.

Tydal will shortly head to Japan to perform with singer Turbulence.
