Lyrical Eye Bio

Artist/Songwriter Stefan Eliades, "Lyrical Eye" started performing live at the age of 16 in different venues around Cyprus. It wasn't until his first move to the United Kingdom, when things started to look more serious for the artist.

During 2003 was the first move to the United Kingdom where "Lyrical Eye" started participating at Live Mc Freestyle Battles at the biggest event in London called the "Jump Off" (http://www.jumpoff.tv)

In the 6-7 times that the artist participated he managed to get himself to the top four at all times. Receiving this great feedback from the crowds helped the artist motivation blow through the roof and it wasn’t until then where he seriously started pushing his songwriting skills.

After tons of performances in the U.K and his home country Cyprus, the artist dropped his first commercial club track “Bounce”. Immediately the track started getting radio play in UK stations such as Extreme Fm and on Mix Fm (Cyprus) with the legendary Dj Net (Rest in Peace).
