ONE TO
My
government
name is Arys
Déjan Allen-McPherson. I was born in Toronto, ON, Canada but I was raised
in Niagara Falls and many other
places in the Ontario/Toronto area
like Maple (Near Wonderland),
Richmond Hill and Thornhill.
I’ve had many nick names during
my life on this planet...King, Ace,
Nathan (Long Story), Young God,
Just E (Long story as well), LSN
(Light Skinny N***a),...but once I
started perusing music as a career,
I decided to use my 1st and middle
names, enter Arys Déjan.
My influences tend to derive
from what I’ve seen, the youth of
today, my favorite movies and of
course...my twisted mind. My mission is to spread love through the
music. Make a difference in this so
called “famed world.” Show that if
you build it they will come whoever “They” are.
If I was not making music I
would work with kids and youth.
At risk youth specifically. Promoting non-violence withing the
Toronto communities. I’m the
program facilitator at an organization called LOVE (Leave Out
Violence). I use media arts to channel through messages/social issues
like bullying, racism, sexism etc in
order to help the youth also make
a difference and to make sure they
don’t go left.
My goal is to master the arts of
business, music and philanthropy...
mesh them all together to become
a super powered, mighty morphine
Jay Z lol
A lot of the projects that I have
26
released have really been to only
test my own waters. Nothing worth
even mentioning nut my upcoming
debut EP - LCBO (Life Can Be
Overwhelming) will be something
that everyone will enjoy.
I know how to connect and be
in tune with the crowd. I think it
also comes from me being a dancer. I like attention, so I know what
it feels like to crave the attention
from someone else. When your
fans are watching you perform, all
they really want is acknowledgment, that eye contact, that opportunity to touch you...even just a
shout out. When I perform, I’m one
with the crowd and my audience.
Plus I’m hype as F**k.
I have not had many performances I consider myself to be a new
artist. Anything I’ve done in the
past is irrelevant...I do have some
cray stories though for another time
lol. Plus, I have some crazy shows
lined up so I’ll be sure to keep you
in the loop with those. Got share
my music with Misfit Tunes!
I LOVE my music it is varied, uplifting but vulgar at times,
inspiring and performance worthy.
Without it to be honest, I’d be
dead. Music helped me bring my
thoughts to life. Music is what’s
helping me get through all this war
and anger going on in the world
today.
My music paints a picture thats
shows I’m hurt, but strong. Very
aware of who I am and my surroundings. Sometimes bitter but
ready to move forward and to
cause some ruckus.
I will know I made it when I am
well known for my story, talents
and the good that I do and difference that I have made for myself
and trying to make in this world.
When I get that call telling me
that I am leaving Toronto, the
first check that I get from writing
someone else’s hit song, the day
I see billboards with my face and
name on it, and/or the day stadiums
are screaming my name and wha t I
represent.
On my quest to success I have
my minions I meant team. They
believe in the mission. One thing
that I am missing is a manager to
conduct my train to station MADE
IT!
