Cyrus Eye
Cyrus Eye is a two member band consisting of a DJ and a lyricist. Our roots stem deep into Hip Hop, Jazz, Neo Soul and Reggae. We stay free of vulgarity.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started out with a group called 3-fold in Bridgeport Connecticut. 3Fold consisted of my DJ AM Sunshine, then known as Al Mizz; C-Boogie (of Sure Shots), then known as Hype-C; and myself, the known as IQ. Unfortunately that group dissolved over time and the leading member (C-Boogie) collaberated with our Cats in the band called TriStateofMind (consisting of AM Sunshine and Regg Lo). DJ AM Sunshine from TriStateofMind is also in Cyrus Eye and is the founder of the whole concept behind "the Eye".
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play live.
Your musical influences
I'd say a lot of my Hip Hop influence stems from A Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def and Talib Kweli, Common, Rakim, etc. The Dancehall aspect would give credit to the likes of Beenie man, Bounty Killa' and Ele. The Neo Soul love would be Amel Larrieux, Sade, Adriana Evans, Maxwell, Remy Shand, etc...
What equipment do you use?
Me, personally, Just The Mic. Al Mizz rocks the turntables, mixers, and madd old records.
Anything else?
