Lyric Dubee is a multi-genre 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.

Lyric’s first album, ‘Broken Dreams’ was written and recorded when he was just 12 years old. The CD release party, which was held at the MacLaren Arts Centre in Barrie, brought over 150 people out to listen to the new performer’s sound.

Lyric was inspired by a texting and driving video and wrote a song titled ‘You Instead’ about the issue. The video and song merged together and the Ontario Provincial Police featured it on their Facebook and Twitter pages. The song was also played on the New Music Hour on Rock 95 and Rogers TV invited Lyric to play part of his album live on their morning show.

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.

Lyric recorded his second album at 14 and has performed it twice on Rogers TV Day Time program, had a tune spun on Rock 95′s New Music Hour and was a featured guest on Rogers TV new show Georgian Arts.

The CD release for his 2nd album “ALIVE” was a sold out event with 350 people. Lyric’s newest album is being well received with international sales and great reviews. “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
