     From virtuoso session star to mature album artist with personality and charisma – that has been the way for Roykey Wydh, who nowadays just calls himself Roykey. After Roykey had come from his home, the carribean island of Aruba, to Europe in the early eighties he almost instantaneous became one of the most requested live- and studio guitarists on the continent.
      During these years he played countless recording sessions and some wisely selected tours for internationally established acts such as Patrick Gammon, Lionel Ritchie, Brian Auger or Linton Kwesi Johnson. But his successful career as a sideman didn't saturate Roykey's need for his own musical expression.
     
In 1984 guitar player Roykey Wydh assembled a carefully selected crew of international top musicians in a small Munich studio – among them guitar master Larry Coryell, superdrummer Alphonse Mouzon and Germany's No. 1 studio drummer Curt Cress. This summit of musical heavyweights had been made possible simply because of the stir, which Wydh, who had just a few years before come from his carribean home island Aruba to Europe, had created among his fellow musicians. And the eight instrumental tracks came up to the high expectations created by the illustrious line up: "Secret Message" offered breathtaking electric rock-jazz as well as purely acoustic filigree work.
