Jyrus Melody
Influenced by the island sounds of his native Trinidad and adopted Manhattan, JYRUS MELODY came to the stage in Atlanta as part of the group DAMAGE CREW, with Boobie aka Mad Howz, combining Mad Howz’s gritty reggae sound with Jyrus’ melodic tone. Heavily influenced by soca, reggae, hip hop and R&B, Jyrus fuses his unique and innovative lyrics with his expertise at beat building and producing to push the envelope of today’s music and culture. Jyrus’ pop/dance song “MOLLY GAL,” blends Caribbean sounds with California trance and appears in the independent film, RUNT, with Jyrus making a special on-screen appearance across from Disney teen sensation, the late Cameron Boyce. Jyrus continues his solo career as performer, writer and producer and his single “HOLD ON” brings his unique sound and broad “feel-good” message of joy and inclusion to the world, and his EP “WHO BAD LIKE ME” shows the raw and relatable craft that makes him stand out from the crowd. Jyrus recently visited Trinidad, where he recorded his single “I’M SMILING” with DP Productions under the guidance of DJ Dr. Ross. In 2022 Jyrus releases “NO ESCAPING” “GO DOWN” and “LOOSE LIPS” with a Dancehall Reggae Style once again showing his versatility .
