MYSTIC, the duo of SPACEBOY and MR. OUIJA, represents a lifelong passion for music turned into a shared reality. The two first crossed paths in high school, often talking about making music together but never taking it seriously at the time. Seven years later, fate aligned, and they recorded their first song “WINGS TO THE SKY.” Since then, they have released ten projects in just one year, proving their dedication and consistency despite the challenges of busy schedules. At the core, their journey is built on love for music and an even deeper love for creating it.
When it comes to their creative process, MYSTIC keeps it natural. Writing often begins with casual conversations or spontaneous ideas that appear at work or during everyday moments. They are constantly thinking of lines and melodies, always preparing for the next track. Recording is where they block out the world and lock into their zone. The duo makes what feels right, and their approach to art and promotion reflects that authenticity.
Their sound is an eclectic mix drawn from a wide range of influences. From Bone Thugs and DJ Screw to White Zombie, Pantera, Suicideboys, and Lil Wayne, MYSTIC experiments with different styles and refuses to be confined to one genre. They draw inspiration from anywhere, letting mood and creativity guide the outcome. The philosophy is simple: make the kind of music they want to hear while staying true to themselves.
MYSTIC’s message to listeners is about authenticity and happiness. They want people to see that they are simply doing what they love without concern for perception. Their music conveys a belief in individuality, a rejection of trends, and the courage to be yourself. They encourage others to embrace what makes them happy, block out negativity, and never compromise on their identity.
Of course, the journey comes with obstacles. Living in different parts of the country creates challenges with communication and collaboration, while building an audience in today’s crowded music scene can be difficult. Yet, they persevere. Their bond as a team keeps them motivated, and their shared love for music ensures they never stop creating. For SPACEBOY and MR. OUIJA, it is all about trusting the process and continuing to push forward.
The rewards of their work make the grind worthwhile. Hearing their finished music, uploading projects, and seeing their vision come alive brings an unmatched rush. Mixtapes like “BROTHERHOOD” and “BACK TO THE BLUEPRINTS” have been especially meaningful, serving as full-circle moments that turned years of ideas into tangible art. These milestones reinforce their dedication and inspire them to keep making every project better than the last.
