J-LYRIQ

Detroit native J-LYRIQ is a gritty, urban contemporary/soul singer, songwriter and self taught producer whose influences have ranged from Sam Cooke, Donny Hathaway, and Marvin Gaye to Jodeci, Brian McKnight, and R. Kelly. Like other R&B artist who have emerged in the ’90s and 2000s, J-LYRIQ looks to different eras for inspiration. The classic soul of the ’60s and ’70s has had an impact on his singing and producing, but so have the urban contemporary and hip-hop of the ’80s, ’90s and 2000s.
