Razor Blades N' Lemonade Exclusive Debut - Bay Area Artist, Eileezus

Oakland, California, August 23, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Bay Area fashion label Razor Blades and Lemonade have announced their next partnership with a homegrown artist, featuring local Bay Area creative artist and singer songwriter Eileezus. Eileezus is the creative name for Eileen Syrop who was born and raised in Hayward California. Eileezus’ modes of expression include many different art forms from photography to graphic design, but since the unexpected success of her first self-produced and released single, she has dedicated herself to her passion of music production and singing.

Eileezus grew up with a passion for music, singing her whole life and playing piano since the age of six. But it wasn’t until the summer before her sophomore year of high school that she realized she wanted to pursue music fully. It was that summer that Eileezus composed, wrote and recorded her first song “Squinty Eyes” that started her journey as a singer songwriter. The ambient music style of “Squinty Eyes” showcased lilting, haunting vocals and a nostalgic atmosphere that became an unexpected success for Eileezus. The encouragement and feedback inspired Eileezus to continue pursuing music production and singing, and now she looks forward to releasing her debut album in 2017.

Regardless of the attention her music has received, Eileezus acknowledges that her passion for music is what truly drives her. ‘I’m constantly coming up with phrases and lyrics no matter where I am and what I’m doing, melodies always form in my head’, she explains. ‘I love listening to music, and nothing compares to the feeling of listening to your own music, breaking apart the layers and lyrics, knowing that YOU made that!’ Eileezus is all too familiar with the downsides of music production too, acknowledging that the process of making music can be very lonely as a solo artist, recalling how she isolated herself in her sophomore year of high school to produce more music. This led her to form the organization Bay Creatives, along with the help and inspiration of other local artists and movements such as Flaskmob. The goal of Bay Creatives is to serve as a platform for local artists to build genuine connections through regular events and meetups and social media, and to help counteract the isolation solo artists can experience.

Eileezus can be seen on the Razor Blades and Lemonade website wearing some of RBNL’s pieces including a Razor Blades and Lemonade white logo t-shirt, the RBNL leggings, a Razor Blades and Lemonade Hoodie, and a RBNL beanie in a series of shots. As an emerging Bay Area artist and founder of Bay Creatives, Eileezus has plenty ahead of her in terms of challenges and victories for 2016 and 2017. ‘I’m trying to find a balance between running the organization [Bay Creatives] and creating music because I’m very passionate about both’, she acknowledges. ‘For Bay Creatives, I’m currently organizing a zine featuring various groups and individuals that are shaping the Bay’s culture, and musically I’m working on a debut album to release mid-2017…The songs I’m working on for my debut album are going to be a little mix of everything I love.’ With passion, drive and inspiration all on her side, Razor Blades and Lemonade is excited to be partnering with Eileezus as a representative of positive creativity.
