Lyric Dubee

Lyric Dubee is a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist artist born and raised in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. Proficient and at ease playing ROCK, POP, BLUES and JAZZ, his deep appreciation and experimentation with all the genres led Lyric to personalize his own style of music known as REVOLUTION ROCK. Broken Dreams – Debut Album at age 12 Lyric wrote all the songs for his first album, ‘Broken Dreams’ which he released when he was just 12 years old and the CD release party brought over 150 people out to listen to the new performer’s sound. His debut album was well received with parts of the album being played on Rock 95’s New Music Hour. Rogers TV invited Lyric to play his album live on their morning show and his song ‘You Instead’ which was inspired by a texting and driving video was featured on the Ontario Provincial Police Facebook and Twitter pages. Lyric won the BEST YOUNG SONGWRITERS award at the Barrie New Music Festival 2011 and was approached by Rogers TV to use his album as the soundtrack for a show they were launching “New Slang” which aired Sept 18, 2011. Alive – 2nd Album at age 14 Lyric released his second album at age 14 to rave reviews and international sales. “There are some really great sounds coming out of Canada and Lyric Dubee is leading the pack. He has always brought great music to his fans with his outstanding guitar playing and his gift for writing songs, he brings enjoyment to all. The great skills he has as an artist really showed through on his CD, “Broken Dreams’, but now he has out done himself with his new CD, “Alive”. TOMMY NEAL – STARS2COME.COM Once again he appeared on Rogers TV Day Time program, was a featured guest on Rogers TV new show “Georgian Arts”, and had a tune spun on Rock 95′s New Music Hour. The CD release for his 2nd album “ALIVE” was a sold out event with 350 people. Working on his 3rd album at 15! Hot on the heels of his 2nd album Lyric is hard at work on his 3rd with 7 songs already recorded. In February he returned from Nashville where he recorded 3 new songs, 2 of which were co-written and produced by Bobby Amaru (Saliva frontman) and Nolan Neal (producer Cold, Shinedown, and Saliva).  2 more songs were produced and recorded in Toronto at Oak Studios with Damon de Szegheo (engineer/ producer with a who’s who of Canadian music including Juno Award winners Serena Ryder, The Barenaked Ladies, and Bruce Cockburn) and this summer the last 2 were recorded in Toronto with Dave Dunlop (producer for Rik Emmett and Dan McLean Jr), Lyric has opened for or shared the stage with performers such as Walk Off The Earth, David Usher, Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo, Lee Aaron , Goddo, Sean Ashby, Steve Strongman, Virgil Scott, Downchild Blues Band with Chuck Jackson and many more talented musicians. His music can be heard in regular rotation on Internet radio and found on iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby, Soundcloud, Reverbnation, songza and many other sites. Lyric’s love of music and the arts doesn’t appear to be slowing down as he is diversifying his talents to acting. He has taken on a guest appearance in the musical series Twilight Cafe. Be prepared to see a lot more of Lyric in the future. Live Performances Lyric did his first USA tour throughout Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee in the fall of 2013 and has since performed in Austin, Texas at SXSW Music Festival for the CIMA Canada Showcase. He has performed live in over 190 shows and in music festivals such as NXNW, CMW and headlined the Music By The Bay Festival. Musical studies Lyric wakes early and heads off to guitar lessons for a couple of hours before continuing with his school studies. He studies classical guitar, jazz guitar and music theory and loves to play blues, rock and pop music as well. Lyric is now preparing to play his grade 8 Royal Conservatory (RCM) exam. He passed his grade 7 classical guitar exam with ” First Class Honours ” and he received ” First Class Honours ” on his last theory exam. He studies vocal with Elaine Overholt in Toronto, vocal coach to the stars. What they are saying about him Lyric has been featured and interviewed in various media outlets including CBC radio and the Humble and Fred Show and has had many articles written about him. “Like his Debut album this new CD is another gem that must be heard! Each track is a masterpiece that truly demonstrates just how talented young Lyric is in his writing and arrangement skills. In addition to this, Lyric’s vocals are now more mature as his vocals have dropped dramatically.” ROD JOHNSON, RIVENMASTER.COM “Teen’s music beyond his years” DANIELLE VANDENBRINK, KINGSTON WHIG-STANDARD “Canada over the years has brought about some great superstars of music, like Shania Twain and Justin Bieber. Now we have another great artist coming from Canada, and he has the ability to be the greatest yet. Lyric Dubee will be, “Canada”s Newest Superstar”!” TOMMY NEAL – STARS2COME.COM “Lyric Dubee is the real deal. I love this young mans talent, work ethic and current song list which is light years beyond everything I heard!. He has the song writing ability of Taylor Swift and a young Bryan Adams combined with the youthfulness of Justin Beiber and the guitar playing and blues knowledge of Colin James. He is the embodiment of the future of music in Canada.” MICHAEL WILLIAMS – JOURNALIST, RECORD PRODUCER & MEDIA PERSONALITY “Lyric Dubee is well on his way to becoming an international recording artist. We were amazed at the talent, industry connections and multi-genres this Canadian musician plays for his fans. We predict that Lyric Dubee will go far in his own country, as well as on the international music scene” RANDY CURRY – INSIDER MUSIC TRIVIA.COM “It’s always a treat being on stage with someone like Lyric. What passion and spirit at such a young age, an Old Soul for sure. Look out Canada, we got another one coming up the ranks…” VIRGIL SCOTT – MUSICIAN   “Local prodigy (Lyric Dubee – Musician / Songwriter) won Best Young Songwriter at this year’s New Music Awards. Lots more to come from this kid!” PAUL FAIRLEY – ADMIRAL ENTERTAINMENT “Looking like a cross between a hay tossin’ farm boy and a surfer dude, Lyric could easily be mistaken for another Bieberlike. Until he starts playing and singing and it comes to mind this is a whole different thing.” LENNY STOUTE – DIGITAL JOURNAL “He stopped people in their tracks; a fourteen year old playing like Greg Allman is not something you see every day”. CASHBOX CANADA MAGAZINE Up close & personal Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy, John Mayer, Linkin’ Park and 30 Seconds To Mars are just some of the musicians who inspire him. Lyric doesn’t have a lot of spare time but any time he is not performing live he spends playing guitar, writing music, skiing or biking with his friends. He is a 2nd degree black belt in TKD but had to give up regular practices because music became his main focus. Lyric spent most of his younger years dabbling in modeling, acting, dance, theatre and gymnastics. Performing has always been his one true love. www.lyricdubee.com www.facebook.com/lyric.dubee www.twitter.com/lyricdubee www.youtube.com/lyric186

Video feature: “Young and Restless” By Lyric Dubee

“Young and Restless” is a track from Barrie, Ontario native Lyric Dubee’s fourth album. The young musician, who has become widely known in the both the local and North American music scene for his unique brand of rock music, which he refers to as “Revolution Rock,” has hit the ball out of the park with this brand new track that mixes the radio ready pop sounds of five seconds of summer with an almost Bon Jovi like glam.  Before taking to the stage at Moving Art Dance school in Barrie on Saturday night for their album release party Lyric and his band showed off the music video for the track. It can easily be described as a simple case of boys being boys… except with really expensive cars and a Jon Deer Tractor along to the ride. Take a gander at the music video below and tell us what you think!
