Agiris /'uh-guy-riss'/ is an alias of Welsh lyricist and performer Ryan Draper; born in 1995 and raised in the South Wales Valleys. Combine the iris with the periodic symbol for silver (Ag) and you get a neat summation of his intent to coalesce dense lyricism with a mystical flare. 
 His history boasts numerous spoken word performances, including a stint with BBC 1Xtra’s Words First Campaign. He self-released his first full-length mixtape ‘Anima’ in July 2019 which went on to be nominated for Best Album at the Cardiff Music Awards 2020. Two of the tracks received plays on BBC Radio Wales with Adam Walton describing him as “deep, dense, mysterious and imminently intoxicating”. 
 Agiris introduced 2021 with the release of 'Dead or Asleep', scoring B-List rotation and hitting #5 in the Amazing Radio USA Chart. Following this was 'Amser': a time-inspired EP, spearheaded by the provocative single 'Palindrome'. He's now set to release his first new music in 2 years, the Homeric EP 'Aegis'.
