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)
