Lyrika Holmes
Lyrika Holmes is a world renowned harpist that has shared the stage with some of greatest legends in soul music history including Aretha Franklin as well as artists like Howard Hewitt, Paula Michelle, Laura Izibor, Joe and Phil Perry. This innovative artist has performed all over the globe, with the most recent excursion at a high profile event in Shanghai, China. Lyrika is to the electric harp as what Jimi Hendrix is to the electric guitar. Now she is ready to use her harp chops and blend it seamlessly into the world of hip hop.

To match her musical prowess, the sultry songstress has employed the help of the well-known style and media group Kess Agency, the same folks responsible for working with hip hop’s uber-successful answer to Lady Gaga – Nicki Minaj. While the aforementioned artists rely on visual strategy and gimmicks to solidify their place in the universe, Lyrika Holmes takes the Alicia Keys approach, allowing her harpist persona to take the front seat. This combination of using image professionals and classical notions yields a most polished and elite result. The “Attention” video enjoys gorgeous cinematography without taking the attention away from the artist and her music. full bio HERE.
