“THE MUSIC VIDEO, "JUNE 3RD" IS BEING REVISED AT THIS TIMEâ€
B I O
Once known as "Rhythm" among The Steel City's underground Hip Hop and Poetry scene - Uriah was granted standing ovations for lyrical wit that entranced many and brought audiences to tears. One MC was quoted stating, "Her words get you high." After high school she enrolled in The Art Institute of Pittsburgh to obtain a degree in Video Production / Music and Video Business. It was there that she captured a greater medium for storytelling and expression as she muted the mic to balance a camera.
* * *
Upon graduation in 1998, offers came soaring in from the journalistic and post side of production. The stable paychecks made it way too easy to sell out her dreams of being a Music Video / Feature Film Director.
* * *
Eight years later, after the corporate and broadcast market for video and film could no longer curve her urban desires for design, she dropped EVERYTHING to relocate back to her birthplace in the Windy City, scouting unsigned artist whose verses can be depicted through the eye of a lens, with the focus which became“ The Next Female Hype.â€
* * *
After spending a year in Chicago's overly flooded but multi-talented music scene, sharpening her craft for the urban entertainment market, Uriah found an admiration for such recording artist(s); Lil Reap, Yari Jade, and Guayacol Y Ale Nova.
* * *
Currently, Uriah commutes as she continues to develop her eye and technique, technical knowledge and network both commercially as an Assistant Director and independantly as a Director, not being limited to music videos while drafting her first feature documentary, "Industry Underground" expected to be released in the Fall of 2008.
