Eye.sha
Singer| Songwriter | Producer
Born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to Gambian parents, Eye.Sha, formerly known as Lifeandthetribe, is a singer/songwriter with over 12 years of experience in the R&B and pop music scene. Her passion for music began at age 5 and has only grown stronger since then.
After moving to Canada at the age of eight, Eye.Sha spent her elementary and high school years honing her musical skills, which ultimately led her to pursue a degree in Vocal Jazz. During her time in college, she had the opportunity to work as a backing vocalist for Juno-nominated vocalist Vita Chambers. She was also featured as a vocalist with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra.
Eye.Sha’s dedication to her craft did not go unnoticed, as she was accepted into Humber College for a Bachelor of Arts degree in music. However, after one year in the program, she left to focus on Lifeandthetribe, her five-piece R&B and pop ensemble. Lifeandthetribe was honored with the Hamilton City Enrichment Fund for the Arts in Creation and Presentation and was recognized as one of eight emerging Canadian artists to listen to in 2022 by Exclaim Magazine.
Eye.Sha’s new solo project, which incorporates dark synths, airy vocal harmonies, and quirky melodies, draws inspiration from contemporary R&B and the vocal stylings of traditional Gambian Griots. (A griot is a West African storyteller and musician who serves as a custodian of oral traditions, history, and cultural values)
Eye.Sha describes her genre-bending sound as avant-garde R&B, drawing comparisons to contemporary vocalists like Bree Runway and Dawn Richard. Her deep alto tone is reminiscent of a young Toni Braxton. Currently, Eye.Sha is working on her debut album, slated for release in 2025.
