          Sis is a Los Angeles, CA based artist (originally from the DMV) who began singing at the age of 7 in her grandfather's church in Alexandria, VA. Growing up in a musical family, and having been taught to play the classical piano at the age of 8 by her cousin, Dt Lamont, songwriting and performing came naturally to her. She became interested in the recording arts after completing her first job at the age of 9 doing voiceover work for a BET commercial. She first sang on studio recordings in a high school acapella group, Flint Hill Major Minors, and continued her early career as a recording artist with commissioned projects such as theme music for local radio shows and comedians, and songs for local special events. While studying art in college, she started two gospel groups with childhood friends, REIGN & His City, and began performing across the DMV area. After moving to Los Angeles, Sis continued her performing career as a world-touring background vocalist, working with prominent artists such as Kelela. Being somewhat shy, Sis always found confidence and refuge in the comfort of poetry and songwriting, and developed an inseparable relationship with music. Her songwriting centers around love and a return to the natural world in a modern life filled with virtual realities. Raised in the 90s during the ""golden age"" of hip-hop, remnants of social consciousness and a sense of royal self-awareness (hence the moniker ""King Sis"") can also be found in her songwriting.

Living for weekends

Wishing I could take

A break from this world

Running on a hampster wheel

But searching for something I can feel

I just wanna be a lost girl

And fly

 

Take a breath

Feel my wings spread

Levitate above the ground

And make eye contact with clouds

Now I'm rising

I'm soaring

Above it

It all, I just wanna be

 

Free

(Finally finally, finally)

Wanna be free

(Finally finally, finally)

Wanna be free

(Finally finally, finally)

Wanna be free

(Finally finally, finally)

 

Always daydreaming

Never imagined

I'd lose my spark

Living in this crazy time

Putting back the pieces of my mind

I know how to run from the dark

And fly

 

Take a breath

Feel my wings spread

Levitate into the clouds

I'm so high above the ground

I'm rising

I'm soaring

Above it

It all, I just wanna be

 

Free

(Finally finally, finally)

Wanna be free

(Finally finally, finally)

Wanna be free

(Finally finally, finally)

Wanna be free

(Finally finally, finally)

 

Higher, I gotta go higher

(A bird's eye view)

 

I'm rising

I'm soaring

Above it

It all, I just wanna be

 

Free

(Finally finally, finally)

Wanna be free

(Finally finally, finally)

Wanna be free

(Finally finally, finally)

Wanna be free

(Finally finally, finally)
