At 20 Years Of Age , Qudus, Who Performs Under The Moniker Doe Eye, Is Already Making Noise Delicate, Haunting Noise In The Bay Area Music Scene.
The inspiring clich for aspiring artists is "the sky's the limit," but for Union Town singer and songwriter Maryam Qudus, the sky may simply become a view from the ladder of success she shortly sits upon.
At twenty years old , Qudus, who performs under the moniker Doe Eye, is making noise delicate, 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 sites.
"Since then, things have occurred extraordinarily fast," she revealed. "The reply 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 subsequently featured on the station's website, together with many other music blogs.
Produced by Steven Murr, you wouldn't know that the record was made with tiny assistance from outside musicians. Qudus is the only vocalist and guitar strummer heard on the record, with a guest drummer on two tracks. All other instruments were created digitally by Murr to make a polished, high-quality indie-folk production.
In its brevity, the four-track EP exposes Qudus's weaknesss, hopes and needs, wrapped up in her attracting vocals that even make the words "I hate you" sound captivating.
"I like to form something out of my emotions," she said. Her emotions go from the bold and rebellious lead single to the somber and optimistic dreamscape of "Sea to See"
"The scars on my feet / It's the strength I will keep / Through the repellent and beauty that lies ahead," she sings on "Sea to See."
"It's about being held back and wanting to let go of things you're afraid of, taking chances and not being fearful of doing something because you'd get hurt," she said about the song.
That absence of fear and unbending determination are what set Qudus' career in motion at a young age.
She has had a fondness for singing for so long as she will remember, but failed to get serious about playing music until she was in middle college, where she picked up the guitar and learned on her very own, she said.
"I'm not the best guitarist, but I know enough to draft songs off it," said Qudus, who owns three guitars, a bass, keyboard and tambourine.
Determined to make a vocation of music, she started stumping up for her very own voice lessons at sixteen after getting a part time job. "Every dollar I made went to that," she said.
Last year, she tried to write one new song a day. "I did not pressure myself. It didn't have to be good. I could not 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 two months have been the "craziest" for her, she said.
In the last 2 weeks 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's not playing the waiting game. As an alternative she is pushing forward with her education to further develop her craft.
Next weekend, Qudus packs her life into four huge cases and sets for the east coast to attend the Berklee School of Music in Boston. She already plans to assemble a band and tour the coast, and return typically for spot dates in the Bay Area.
"My career will only get better from here," she announced. "There's a lot more songs to come."
By next summer, she hopes to perform at Live105's BFD and the Outside Lands holidays, two of the biggest music holidays in the Bay Area.
"I think I'll make it happen," she claimed.
