Lyric Wins Two Indie Channel Music Awards

Posted on May 3, 2013 by Jen in Notable Activities

Congratulations to Teri “Lyric” Green, the winner of two brand spankin’ new Indie Channel Music Awards!

Lyric’s song “Scars” won the Indie Channel Music Awards for Best Rap Recording and Best Rap Song. The song features a haunting mix of Lyric’s rhythmic rapping and Gabrielle Taryn’s soaring vocals. And frankly, I’ve had the song stuck firmly in my head since the first time I heard it.

Listen to “Scars” on Lyric’s ReverbNation page.

Lyric had this to say about the experience:

“It was phenomenal because I performed the night prior. As I was walking to take the stage, you could hear people saying things like ‘she’s amazing,’ ‘really talented,’ and ‘she’s a natural star.’ Then they would high-five me — even kids. I felt like I accomplished more than an award. I captured their hearts.”

We here at YOBI.tv couldn’t be happier for you, Lyric. And girl — you are a natural star!

Lyric’s Southern Takeover Tour

Posted on October 24, 2012 by Jen in Notable Activities

Lyric kicks off her Southern TakeOver Tour tomorrow!

Oct 25 – The Limit Night Club, Nashville TN
Oct 26 – Tupac Shakur Center of Arts, Atlanta GA
Oct 27 – Hip Hop in the Park Music Festival, Atlanta GA
Oct 29 – Eddie’s Attic, Decatur GA
Oct 31 – High Note Lounge, Birmingham AL
Nov 3 – Sweet Auburn Heritage Festival, Atlanta GA

If you don’t know who Lyric is…you should! Teri “Lyric” Green was one of the top finishers in our Season 4 YOBISing Contest — a finish which earned her a spot on our Take The Stage webseries. She rocked the mic during the series, and while the series was airing completed an amazing 50 Mics in 60 Days challenge. Lyric then ultimately finished as our fourth Take The Stage fan favorite, and during the finale was told that Johnny Wright was going to shop the song “Skills” — a collaboration with second Take The Stage fan favorite Gabrielle Taryn — to various record labels.

In short…we highly recommend you catch Lyric live. She got skills!
