My name is Devilz-Speciez, Ararad Sarkissian..
I'm the hardest working independent artist you'll probably ever meet.. Why?
Cause' ive taken in every aspect of the art-form on my own!
no street teams, no help.. just a solo artist,
with a great family backbone in this household;
I work hard, and I perform passionately.
I'm currently, only looking to perform until death.. to be completely honest;
I dont care for "record labels" for the fame..
I care for a record label, willing to
BOOK ME NON-STOP TOURS!
haha that's all I ask
Devilz-Speciez Since: 98'
MOUTH-FULL; FOCUSED STATEMENT:
Everyone claims to have a story and presents some sort of struggle; It’s the basic rotation of how the world works. I’ve been through my fair share of ups and downs, more ups and downs, all from pushing as hard as I could with my artistry. I believe, in order to send a message, you must BE the message. You cant just make statements and expect no actions to help the movement. I have always, and always will be an Artist, whom stands by every song released. I have a wide amount of community service completed, and simple attempts in bringing awareness. I thank you for your time, effort and interest.
INTERLUDE:
Devilz-Speciez (Ararad Sarkissian), youngest of three children; since birth-given,driven; Born in Toronto,Ontario (Canada). This individual has witnessed the balance of interior/exterior. Introduced at an early age, to “Art” as a whole; Devilz-Speciez, found himself attacking every aspect from every angle; What kept him grounded musically,at that young age, was Rock music, French Hip-Hop etc. Devilz-Speciez, was heavily into writing down emotions through poetry and found a hunger, to present it through music; After years of recording, battling, performing and pressing demo’s; Devilz-Speciez was crafted; “Experience” has always been the thankful response of who Ararad is today. His uniqueness, is presented directly from his “Vocal Ability, Agility & Lyrical Abilities” The heavy influence of his intermediate family, led him from little-feet, to vast-feet, attacking every opportunity given; A Father, whom grew up surrounding himself around “ambitions” A Mother, whom simply was sleep-deprived, in order to uplift a constant path; A Brother, whom was direct, creative & simply an Instrument-God; & A Sister, whom was simply an Activist for passion; Devilz-Speciez, has successfully pushed forth as an “Independent Artist”; in 2000, through his acting agent, he was called to audition in a hip-hop freestyle/battle commercial for Radio Shack. At this time, he got to deliver his music beside the likes of well knows locals, such as: Kardinal Offishall, Swollen Members, Saukrates, Calcu, Bishop etc; All though he did not make the cut for the commercial, Devilz-Speciez, Received dignity left-to-right for his constant delivery + aggressiveness; In 2006, Devilz-Speciez, took it upon himself to attend Royans School Of Vocal Science, to better train the vocal-structure, and how it should be presented without “Losing” or “Panning Out” on tours, etc. Since then, his elevation – both as a Performer and Recording Artist, has been nothing but comfortable and distinctive; The Power driven, through-out his unique vocal piece – tattoo’s itself as to why, He will continue on this path – through constant musical presentation.

CREATIVE, COMMENCEMENT:
The constant abstraction of something beyond. . . "I dare a genius to decipher!"; Unique verbal-tongue, Since the commencement, what A Push into a world so overwhelmed by it's own distrutis-ways; since the lay-out of what a : Passionate-Destination, seemed at the tic' tockin' of time - as to the 'Now'; The constant aggressive hunger never left this Abdomen. The name itself, has held questions - wandering, confused-oculars, "demands" of a 'theory behind the product'; "If, I'm considered a product; then crucify me - for my false speech throughout these years"- Devilz-Speciez Defiant, since the acknowledgement of: 'hear; to; stay; to; built; to: SPREAD the..' The genesis of the 'Devil'; had begun, as soon as the wing's, bright as the horizon, from full-frontal; turned it's back peice to the God; therefore the infinite 'balance' formulated; "Eye, Am The Devil" = "I Am A Rebel, In A Typical Art Form"

"I first met Ararad at his concert which I filmed at El Mocambo during a battle of the bands concert (June/28th.2006). Needless to say he lit the stage up and was able to bring the audience to their feet. His delivery, his emotions, his difference as an artist blew me away. Ararad and I are working on a music video and I look forward to spread his talent all over this beautiful city!"
– Hayden (Hayden Currie Inc. Skate Business, Film Business, Friend)

– Chris Companion (Bun One Productions)
"In my many years in this music industry I have witnessed a countless number of artists spanning across many genres. I have seldom witnessed an artist with the passion, energy, and drive delivered on a nightly basis by Devilz-Speciez."
– Derrik Jourdain,( Concrete Sound Productions) (Minnesota)
"Make no mistake, Devilz-Speciez definitely is a freestyling genius. Through out our friendship I was very passive towards giving in, to the fact.. It was not pre-written. I use to watch him battle about 6 years ago, and till this day he always carries himself to the extent of making intrigued beyond definition. It's a matter of who's got more energy.. I know he layed his battle tactics to rest, but Im certain if it came to.. he'd puncture a win through and through. Blindto; Deafto; Equivalent ... Is one of the "classics" that will be uplifted in the future beyond our time. Dont be mistaken, this is not an over exaggeration.”
– Kyle A. (Friend, Fan, Critic)
“Working along side Devilz-Speciez, and even producing a lot of his work, you notice a whole different class of respect, and artistry. Ararad is the only rapper I have worked with who has an open mind and tries new things, and goes for a different unique approach, then the same old trends we hear. One day, if not soon, Devilz-Speciez will be everywhere, and everyone will begin to realize what he or she have been missing out on. A fresh new sound, confidence, a great persona, and an open mind, what else can you ask for in an artist? The freestyle king, the melodic rapping king, and the rapper doing rock music king. Devilz does it all, and nobody can say they put on a show or a vocal performance such as Devilz-Speciez. A big kick in the ass, an artist that will not go unnoticed.”
– Vartevar Sarkissian (Producer, Engineer, Musician, Sadanhos/Bete Noire Entertainment)
"Inch Bes Genank Bargeenk"
- This line is used in a recent Devilz-Speciez song. "Talkth Walkth" I was very shocked and amused when hearing this song, and his mixture of the english and Armenian language. I've always held Armenian Hip-Hop very close, just because it's great to appreciate your own culture. BUT.. every Armenian Hip-Hop artist, does not come close to the calliber of heart Ararad Sarkissian puts into his work. Ararad, Devilz-Speciez, May these words be of help to you to keep your head up always Aghbar!. you've got my ears and thoughts always.
- Zevan Berakyan (Fan, Writer)
"My name is Laurice Debeux, currently running the official Devilz-Speciez fan page. More of my move in promotions for such an Artist. I remember meeting Ararad, 3 years ago in Montreal. Ever since then, I was intrigued by his ability. Every year, is a distinctive approach of things musically.. Maybe, I'm mistaken..EVERY SONG, Is distinctive.. Devilz-Speciez, deserves to get signed the deal he deserves... for many reasons:
a) He Delivers
b) His Delivery
c) Emotions!
d) animosity vocally
e) HE'S THE LEGEND ..
I've heard my fair share of underground and mainstream, I'm a fan of everything & Devilz-Speciez, covers in my EYES and opinion..EVERYTHING. keep shining star you know I love you".
