The A3C alum, Lyric Jones, is performing on the “Women in Hip Hop” Showcase Oct. 7th at 7pm on the Jakprints Stage.
“Music is her breath of fresh air,” close friends and fellow artists say about Lyric Jones. Lyric’s musical repertoire includes rapping, singing, playing drums, writing, producing, and even DJ-ing a little. Indeed she is a true “Jackie of All Trades” dipping into hip hop, jazz and neo-soul. But whatever she’s doing, she brings a presence like no other, especially on the stage. Originally from Boston MA, Lyric calls Georgia home for now, where she balances being a full-time journalism student and artist. She got her start at Berklee College of Music where she was joint enrolled while in high school; with drums and voice as primary instruments and also where her love for hip hop developed. A mean lyrical delivery, and sultry melodies; Jones is passionate, multi-faceted and strives to be indispensable. “Why not do it all? She says, Why can't I be an emcee, soul singer and jazz drummer? Music is music, I love Hip Hop, Jazz & Soul, so the world is gonna see it, know it and hear it.”Lyric recently opened up for Trey Songz, J. Cole, Vikter Duplaix, and is consistently crushing the music scene both in Atlanta and Athens, Georgia. She's worked with a diverse mix of artists including Raydar Ellis, Esperanza Spalding, J-Live, Clan Destined, Daniel Moore, Daru Jones, to name a few. You can catch her featured on the new single “Be Easy” with Boston rapper M-Dot alongside Chino XL, Torae, & BAM.
