What do you get when you mix a pint of musicality, an ounce of lyricism, a 4.5 octave range, a lot of emotion and resilience together? Memphis-born Sephyr Patriq (pronounced Say-fear Pah-trick). Writing his first song at ten years old, music is no stranger, but many of his loved ones wondered why he never recorded anything. For years he sat on hundreds of songs using songwriting as a personal therapy through the tougher years of his life. Finally, he has decided to take the leap and release his debut EP, Departure 1989, a personal triumph of uniqueness, heartbreak, and overcoming. On Departure 1989, he presents a mélange of musical styles as what he coins Poetic Pop. Reggae, R&B, Hip Hop, Dance, and Eastern sounds all flow seamlessly connected under a tale of a confident heart whose identity is chipped by a loss of love and how it finds its light again. Collaborating with producers such as Memphis based C-ma"J"or of Unapologetic and Brooklyn based Shareef Keyes and Syl Dubenion, he has worked to co-produce a solid debut EP which he believes is a grand first step into the industry. He implores anybody who dreams of doing something to go after it and go after it unabashedly. The rewards are endless.
