At Twenty Years Of Age , Qudus, Who Performs Under The Moniker Doe Eye, Is Making Noise Delicate, Haunting Noise In The Bay Area Music Scene.
The inspiring clich for hopeful artists is "the sky's the limit," except for Union City singer and songwriter Maryam Qudus, the sky may simply become a view from the ladder of success she shortly sits upon.
At twenty years in age , Qudus, who performs under the moniker Doe Eye, is already making noise fragile, haunting noise in the Bay Area music scene.
She released her debut EP, Run Run Run, last month to high praise from indie music blogs and internet sites.
"Since then, things have happened extraordinarily fast," she revealed. "The response has been amazing."
Her lead single, "I Hate You," has started receiving spins on Live105, the number one rock radio stations in the Bay Area. The video for the song, which debuted online the same day as her EP's release on Aug. Nineteen, was afterwards featured on the station's website, along with many other music blogs.
Produced by Steven Murr, you wouldn't know that the record was made with small assistance from outside musicians. Qudus is the sole vocalist and guitar strummer heard on the record, with a guest drummer on 2 tracks. All other instruments were created digitally by Murr to make a polished, top quality indie-folk production.
In its abruptness, the four-track EP unearths Qudus's weaknesss, hopes and wishes, wrapped in her alluring vocals that even make the words "I hate you" sound bewitching.
"I like to make something out of my emotions," she said. Her feelings range from the bold and mutinous lead single to the somber and upbeat dreamscape of "Sea to See"
"The scars on my feet / It's the strength I am going to keep / Thru the repellent and beauty that lies ahead," she sings on "Sea to See."
"It's about being held back and desiring to let go of things you're terrified of, taking probabilities and not being afraid of doing something because you'd get hurt," she said about the song.
That absence of fear and unbending grit are what set Qudus' career in motion at an early age.
She's had a taste for singing for as long as she'll remember, but failed to get serious about playing music until she was in middle school, where she picked up the guitar and learned on her own, she said.
"I'm not the best guitar strummer, but I know enough to write songs off it," said Qudus, who owns 3 guitars, a bass, keyboard and tambourine.
Determined to make a career of music, she started coughing up for her own voice lessons at 16 after getting a part-time job. "Every greenback I made went to that," she claimed.
Last year, she tried to write one new song a day. "I didn't pressure myself. It didn't have to be good. I couldn't keep it up, but it taught me a lot," she announced.
She took those "skeletons" of songs to Murr. "He took those concepts and made them bigger," she announced,writes tagza.com.
The last 2 months have been the "craziest" for her, she announced.
In the last fourteen days of July, she recorded and completed her EP. Straight after, director Adrien Colon filmed the noire-like black-and-white video for her single
While she is excited for the opportunities that may come from her recent exposure, she is not playing the waiting game. Instead , she is pushing forward with her education to further develop her craft.
This Saturday, Qudus packs her life into 4 enormous suitcases and sets for the east coast to visit the Berklee School of Music in Boston. She already plans to assemble a band and tour the coast, and return routinely for spot dates in the Bay Area.
"My career will only improve from here," she announced. "There's more songs to come."
By next summer, she is hoping to perform at Live105's BFD and the Outside Lands festivals, a couple of the biggest music festivals in the Bay Area.
"I think I'll make it happen," she claimed.
