About Me

Lyr1kz was born, Joshua Bocanegra in the Bronx, NY. Starting at a tender age of 9, he learns the complex art of creating and writing music. Staring off rapping to looped beats by his rap idols Eminem and Dr.Dre. His mother will soon buy him a keyboard for Christmas. Not too long after discovering his musical talent, Lyr1kz started tapping into the latest computer technology such as Magix and FL Studio. He would begin to start producing hip hop beats with software programs and his keyboard. By the time he was 11 years old, he had already recorded and produce 3 albums. One of these albums which featured a song about the attacks on September 11, caught the attention of a retired A&R from Warner Brothers Records in New Jersey, New York. Lyr1kz witnessed his first disappointment in 2001 when the lack of time he had because of school interfering with music forced him to loose contact with the retired A&R.In 2003, Lyr1kz released an EP titled " The New Era ". He would soon perform songs off the cd in a local school dance in Buffalo, as well as in a wedding in New Jersey. The cd sold a total of over 300 copies in New Jersey and Buffalo. A female singer/songwriter in Buffalo, New York was featured on the cd as well. She would give the record to a close friend of hers named Cochise. Cochise has produced for many major artist in the music industry for years. Lyr1kz would soon get introduced to Cochise and went to Brooklyn with his EP. After being amazed by Lyr1kz's talent at such a young age, Cochise would soon start showing Lyr1kz knowledge of the music business.At age 14, learning more about marketing and promotion online, Lyr1kz would soon start his own label called " Pro Records ". Lyr1kz started a myspace page which featured all his new material which was recorded in his home studio. After a year of signing up with more than one music websites, Lyr1kz would make 1000 friends on myspace and get 2000 song downloads on his page at soundclick.com.Later in the year of 2006, Lyr1kz would team up with Cochise and start getting offers to do production for major labels. At age 16, Lyr1kz had produced songs for artist in Buffalo as well as local artists in New York. Lyr1kz has produced two tracks for Universal Records, and for 106 and Park's Wild Out Wedensday champion r&b recording artist " Bradd Marquis "Lyr1kz is now in talks of producing for major artist such as Keyshia Cole, Whitney Huston, Ja Rule and Jennifer Hudson.

The R&B artist, Keisha Cole, rapper Ja Rule and beats for Whitney Houston are just the beginning of the list of the stars that his music will help brighten by the end of 2008. ""West Side Story" . That's the name of his current cd. The album is long on stories of lust, love - love lost, love gained and love learned. The album targets female teens trying to find their way to positive relationships. Lyr1kz knows something about staying positive. Making music does that for him. Every day he writes and produces beats with sounds ranging from R&B to hip hop to movie soundtracks to pop.With close friends in the music industry and credits on major record labels, Lyr1kz is looking at the year of 2008 as the beginning of finally starting his music career that he anticipated to have since the age of 9.
