SUNDAY, MID 80'S DECEMBER 11TH DURHAM N.C. A STAR WAS BORN.
HAVING A FILIPINO FATHER AND A BLACK MOTHER IN THE EIGHTIES IN A SMALL TOWN ALREADY HAD LYRIC SET FOR AN INTERESTING LIFE. A "BLACK CHINESE"..... IS WHAT THE ENTIRE HOSPITAL STAFF CALLED HER.
YOU CAN SAY IT COULD'VE BEEN THE HEADPHONES PLACED ON HER MOTHERS BELLY AS SHE GREW TO LOVE MUSIC IN THE WOMB. YOU CAN SAY IT COULD'VE BEEN THE DANCE SESSIONS JAMMING TO EARTH WIND AND FIRE AND PARLIAMENT SHE SHARED WITH HER MOTHER AND LITTLE SISTER IN THE LIVING ROOM, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE..MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN APART OF HER LIFE. MIZ LYRIC FEELS THAT GOD BLESSED HER WITH SO MANY TALENTS SHE HAS TO MAKE USE OF THEM ALL. COMING FROM A FATHER WHO IS A GREAT MARTIAL ARTIST AND HER MOTHER A TALENTED POETRY WRITER AND ALSO A GREAT LOVER OF MUSIC, THEY KNEW THEY WANTED A BETTER LIFE FOR THERE CHILDREN. WHEN MIZ LYRIC WAS 4 YEARS OLD HER PARENTS MOVED THEM TO INGLEWOOD, CA. " THAT WAS THE BEST THING THEY COULD'VE EVER DONE FOR ME!" SAYS MIZ LYRIC. HER FATHER WORKED TO SUPPORT THEM ALL WHILE ALSO WORKING ON HIS MOVIE CAREER...LATER PUTTING THAT ASIDE TO FOCUS ON HIS DAUGHTERS TALENTS. EARLY ON MIZ LYRIC ALSO CAUGHT THE ACTING BUG AND BEGAN TRAINING HEAVILY IN ACTING AND DANCING, BECOMING A THEATER RAT, RECOGNIZED BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AS GIFTED AND TALENTED IN PERFORMING ARTS. SHE WENT ON TO WIN STATE AWARDS, STARRING IN PLAYS, AND EVEN INHERITED HER MOTHERS TALENT FOR WRITING POETRY. LYRIC SAYS, " I LOVE PERFORMING! IT'S THE BEST PART ABOUT ALL OF IT TO ME" FAST FORWARDING LYRIC STRUGGLED BETWEEN HER CAREER CHOICE AND ALL HER TALENTS. FROM BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL FIGHTER,ACTING, OR PURSUING HER LOVE FOR PERFORMING. "GROWING UP IN CALI, YOU SEE FAMOUS PEOPLE ALL THE TIME, IT'S HARD NOT TO KNOW SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW ANYONE FAMOUS" SHE SAYS LAUGHING. "BUT I WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL..YOU CAN BE A WHORE AND BE FAMOUS FOR IT THESE DAYS, BUT I'M NOT AFTER THE FAME. I WANT SUCCESS." LATER ON SHE TOOK A PAUSE ON HER ACTING AND BEGAN DABBLING IN MUSIC, WORKING WITH A FRIEND, CHE VICIOUS FROM AFTERMATH RECORDS. " CHE HAD SUCH A UNIQUE STYLE OF MUSIC, AND I LOVED THAT..I KNOW NOW, I WASN'T READY FOR A CAREER THEN LOOKING BACK ON IT NOW, BUT IT DEFINITELY JOLTED MY LOVE FOR MUSIC AGAIN AND I KNEW THEN I HAD TO PURSUE IT." SAYS LYRIC. LITTLE DID SHE KNOW HER FAMILIES LIFE WOULD BE FOREVER CHANGED. HER FATHER THE DYNAMIC MARTIAL ARTIST, WAS STRICKEN WITH A LIFE THREATENING ILLNESS THAT NEARLY KILLED HIM, HOSPITALIZING HIM FOR NEARLY A YEAR. THIS WAS A BIG CHANGE FOR HER FAMILY, SO SHE PLACED HER CAREER ON HOLD. PULLING TOGETHER WITH THEIR STRONG FAMILY LOVE AND A COUPLE YEARS LATER, LYRIC IS READY! SHE IS A TALENTED WRITER AND IS VERY ADAMENT ABOUT THE FACT THAT SHE WRITES EVERYTHING HERSELF. NOT LABELING HERSELF AS A "RAPPER" BUT AN "ENTERTAINER", MIZ LYRIC'S WESTCOAST MEETS SOUTH STYLE OF MUSIC IS UNIQUE AND HER DANCE SETS HER APART AS A TRUE PERFORMER.
