At 20 Years Old , 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 expectant 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 of age , Qudus, who performs under the moniker Doe Eye, is making noise delicate, 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 internet sites.
"Since then, things have happened terribly fast," she claimed. "The response 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 tune, which debuted online the same day as her EP's release on Aug. Nineteen, was afterwards featured on the station's website, together with lots of other music blogs.
Produced by Steven Murr, you wouldn't know that the record was made with small help from outside musicians. Qudus is the sole vocalist and guitar strummer heard on the record, with a guest drummer on 2 tracks. All of the instruments were made digitally by Murr to make a polished, top quality indie-folk production.
In its brevity, the four-track EP reveals Qudus's weaknesss, hopes and wishes, wrapped up in her appealing vocals that even make the words "I hate you" sound captivating.
"I like to make something out of my emotions," she announced. Her feelings range all the way from the bold and rebellious lead single to the somber and upbeat dreamscape of "Sea to See"
"The scars on my feet / It's the strength I will keep / Through the ugly and beauty that lies ahead," she sings on "Sea to See."
"It's about being held back and needing to let go of things you are terrified of, taking chances and not being afraid of doing something because you'd get hurt," she said of the song.
This lack of fear and unbending grit are what set Qudus' career in motion at a young age.
She's had a fondness for singing for so long as she'll remember, but failed to get serious about playing music till she was in middle school, where she picked up the guitar and learned on her own, she announced.
"I'm not the best guitar strummer, but I know enough to write songs off it," asserted Qudus, who owns three guitars, a bass, keyboard and tambourine.
Keen to make a career of music, she started coughing up for her own voice lessons at sixteen after getting a part-time job. "Every buck I made went to that," she said.
Last year, she attempted to write one new song a day. "I failed to pressure myself. It didn't have to be good. I could not keep it up, however it taught me a lot," she announced.
She took those "skeletons" of songs to Murr. "He took those concepts and made them bigger," she claimed,writes tagza.com.
The last 2 months have been the "craziest" for her, she said.
In the last fourteen days of July, she recorded and completed her EP. Right after, director Adrien Colon filmed the noire-like black-and-white video for her single
While she's excited for the openings that may come from her up to date exposure, she's not playing the waiting game. Instead , she's pushing forward with her education to further develop her craft.
This Saturday, Qudus packs her life into 4 large cases and sets for the east coast to attend the Berklee Varsity 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 announced. "There's a load more songs to come."
By next summer, she hopes to perform at Live105's BFD and the Outside Lands festivals, a couple of the biggest music festivals in the Bay Area.
"I think I can make it happen," she claimed.
