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.
The inspiring clich for aspiring artists is "the sky's the limit," except for Union City singer-songwriter Maryam Qudus, the sky may simply become a view from the ladder of success she shortly sits upon.
At 20 years in age , Qudus, who performs under the moniker Doe Eye, is 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 websites.
"Since then, things have happened terribly 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. 19, was afterwards featured on the station's website, together with many other music blogs.
Produced by Steven Murr, you would not know that the record was made with small help from outside musicians. Qudus is the only vocalist and guitarist heard on the record, with a guest drummer on 2 tracks. All of the instruments were created digitally by Murr to make a polished, top quality indie-folk production.
In its brevity, the four-track EP reveals Qudus's vulnerabilities, hopes and needs, wrapped up in her alluring vocals that even make the words "I hate you" sound bewitching.
"I like to make something out of my emotions," she revealed. Her feelings go from the bold and mutinous lead single to the somber and optimistic dreamscape of "Sea to See"
"The scars on my feet / It is the strength I am going to keep / Through the ugly 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 of the tune.
That absence of fear and unbending determination are what set Qudus' career in motion at an early age.
She's had a fondness for singing for as long as she will 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 revealed.
"I'm not the best guitar player, but I know enough to write songs off it," asserted Qudus, who owns 3 guitars, a bass, keyboard and tambourine.
Determined to make a career of music, she started paying for her own voice lessons at 16 after getting a part-time job. "Every dollar I made went to that," she announced.
Last year, she attempted to write one new song a day. "I did not pressure myself. It did not have to be good. I couldn't keep it up, however it taught me a lot," she revealed.
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 claimed.
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's excited for the openings which may come from her recent exposure, she isn't playing the waiting game. Instead , she's pushing forward with her education to further develop her craft.
This Saturday, Qudus packs her life into four huge 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 revealed. "There's more songs to come."
By next summer, she is hoping to perform at Live105's BFD and the Outside Lands festivals, two of the biggest music festivals in the Bay Area.
"I think I can make it happen," she claimed.
