Mind's Eye Dub is a reggae musician from Malta.

Born David Magro in 1969, he formed Malta's first reggae band, Mind's Eye, in 1988. The band played concerts all over the island for about ten years supporting reggae legends like Aswad, The Wailers, and Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers when they played in Malta.

When the band split up, David built his own studio and his first solo project was a Bob Marley tribute album.

In 2001, he did three CDs for mp3.com under the name of Mind's Eye Dub. Many of his next tunes were made available as free downloads at his mindseyedub.com site, as was the 2008 set with twenty of these tracks: I Wanna Love You.

Manwel T Meets Mind's Eye Dub At The Temple Of Dub appeared on Dubkey in April 2009. The same label released the A Different World compilation in early 2010 and Uhuru three years later.

Magro plays all the instruments on his releases and takes care of production and mixing. His tunes have a heavy Mediterranean flavour: tough, but very melodic. His melodica tracks are very powerful: catchy but enduring.
