Lyric Jones is hard to miss; always smiling and with her "girl next door" aura she is all things music. It should come as no surprise that she has a diverse range of influences that encompass many different genres, as writing and rhyming only displays one aspect of her many talents.
Originally from Boston, MA, Lyric began singing and playing drums first, at a very young age and honed her talents while joint enrolled at Boston's legendary Berklee College of Music during her High School years. "Why not do it all!?" Lyric asks. "Music is music, I love Hip-Hop, Jazz and Soul, so the world is going to see it, know it and hear it" she asserts.
Love's Trail Mix is Lyric's second official release and she came up with the title as a way to paint the picture of how multi-faceted love is. Lyric states "love can be complicated, happy, confused, beautiful, angry, disappointing and magical all at the same time. Trail Mix has a lot of different flavors and textures - but it is still an appealing snack." Love's Trail Mix tells stories of love from various perspectives, but it is short and sweet and parallels the "Trail Mix" metaphor.
Lyric has already worked with a Grammy Award winner, as she previously collaborated with Esperenza Spalding for Lyric's "Loss On Repeat" (2012) and also Phife Dawg of A Tribe Called Quest who also made a appearance on her last album "Jones St." Lyric continues that trend on Love's Trail Mix, as she collaborates with Grammy nominated and renowned Jazz trumpet player Russell Gunn on "Tired" and also worked with Earth, Wind & Fire collaborator Daniel "SkyHigh" McClain on "Tall."
Further displaying her versatility, Lyric makes her production debut ("Tall" and "Magnetic") on Love's Trail Mix and recreates her undeniable chemistry with Raydar Ellis on "Spectacle."
Lyric Jones recently released the second official single, "Magnetic" https://soundcloud.com/lyric-jones/magnetic-single-prod-lyric/s-UtNtf taken from Love's Trail Mix. Lyric co-produced the track with Illastrate and it includes cuts by DJ Wayne Ski.
