Proving that young emcees have an untouchable energy, Eyeris has mastered the way of bridging the old and new school of hip-hop. In the tradition of hip-hop, she rocks the stage as one emcee and quickly adapts to rock a crowd with any DJ. If you don’t see her on the stage, she is overpowering the cipher with her creative flow and powerful wordplay.

Born in Michigan, she spent her early years performing in school talent shows and writing poetry. At the age of 15, Eyeris moved to Portland, Oregon and before finishing high school recorded her first demo tape and became well known in the hip-hop scene. There, she linked with DJ Rev Shines of Quannum Projects and started building with local artists such as Ohmega Watts and Siren’s Echo. After moving to New York at 18, she was able to evolve her craft and rock any crowd from up-beat parties to hip-hop shows and small open mic venues.

Within the past 4 years, Eyeris has created a following for herself not only in the club and hip-hop scenes in New York and Portland, but also around Europe. She has shared the stage with hip-hop legends such as The Roots and Roxanne Shante but has also helped build a foundation for the new school with other young artists by organizing open mics and parties thus bringing up coming artists together. Her unique voice will draw you in, her lyrics will keep you listening, and her energy will make you never want to leave!
