Lyrica Anderson is a singer-songwriter with an impressive track record.\u00a0<\/span>From writing for our favourite artists, starring on a hit tv show, releasing new music and raising her adorable son Ocean – calling her a superwoman is an understatement.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Lyrica started singing from the tender age of six years old. The singer recalls when her mother was signing in the car and asked her to sing along with her. To her mother surprise Lyrica naturally had a beautiful singing voice. Her Mother Lyrica Garnett was shocked she had to call her friend to tell her the news.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

By the time Lyrica reached her early teens, she had started writing songs. Although a newbie, her mother would help her by getting her instrumentals. Melodies would come to Lyrica effortlessly making the songwriting process relatively easy. Not too long after she got her first songwriting deal with corporate giant Disney. Signing the deal with Disney was a significant move for Lyrica and securing the young writer her first big cheque, further encouraging Lyrica to take her passion for songwriting seriously.<\/span><\/p>\n

Disney was so impressed they got Lyrica to write for all of their top acts, such as the Jonas Brothers,\u00a0<\/span>Miley Cyrus<\/span><\/a>, Princess & The Frog, Camp Rock, and more. The more placements she landed for the Disney acts, the more her confidence and talent would grow.<\/span><\/p>\n

By the time she reached her early twenties, the phenomenal writer had decided to explore the RnB route and write songs\u00a0<\/span>Chris Brown<\/span><\/a>, Demi Lovato & others.<\/span><\/p>\n

“<\/span><\/strong>I was excited to work and be in the studio with Chris Brown. I got the chance to record with him, watch him in the studio. He would ask me what do I think of that run or that line?”<\/span><\/h3>\n

Lyrica looked up to Chris since he first exploded on to the scene with his break out hit ‘Run It” featuring Dipset’s Juelz Santana. So you can imagine her excitement when the opportunity to work with him came. Lyrica recalls vocal producing and writing for Chris Brown a surreal experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Chris Brown is a superstar and so talented.”<\/span><\/h3>\n

Another highlight in Lyrica’s songwriting credit was to score a song for music phenomenon Beyonce. Although Lyrica had not met the megastar at the time, she co-wrote the hit “Jealous” in the studio with her producer. The song eventually got sent to Beyonce, and she loved it. Beyonce wrote on the piece too, making the track a collaboration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“She’s the Queen Bey! To hear her sing my song, I cried. I was super excited. I finally met her a few months back at the Roc Nation Brunch.”<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"Over the years, Lyrica has built up strong connections and long-lasting relationships with many in the entertainment industry. Some of her A-list pals include music and beauty mogul Rihanna, Princess Love, K-Michelle and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lyrica attributes her success in the industry to working hard and never giving up. Not even the pandemic has slowed down her work output. With the release of her new album coming soon and new singles ready to be rolled out, Lyrica and her management team work 24\/7 to ensure the best. Lyrica knows hard work and determination will reap her the rewards she is capable of achieving.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes I am up until 5-6 am on the phone, sending emails, answering text messages, responding to people, sending information, files, artwork, pictures they need just being hands-on. Editing with my editor, making sure it looks right and that I like it.”<\/p>\n

I watched Love & Hip-Hop, so I saw first hand what Lyrica was going through in her private life. Her new single “Marriott” heavily touched on the situation with her and estranged husband A1. Being so transparent with the matters close to her heart must not have been easy, especially when you got the whole world watching. I commend Lyrica for her honesty, wearing her heart on her sleeve and baring her deepest emotions can be freeing, but it’s not always a pleasant experience.<\/p>\n

Listening to your latest singles, I can hear your life experiences inspired your creative process?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Lyrica:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>My last two singles called ‘Marriott’ and ‘Act A Fool’ relate to my life because I put it all on paper. This whole album I laid it all out there you know me and my partner have separated, I went and stayed at the Marriott hotel I moved out, I just had a baby.<\/span><\/p>\n

For many girls, that would be very traumatising and hard to deal with it. It was hard to deal with it. I just decided while I was going through it to write about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel like in pain; you get the best music, which inspired me to write Marriott. Act A Fool is a new chapter, it’s like throwing your hands up and saying you weren’t on your p’s & q’s, so I’m about to turn up at all costs. I’m not thinking about you. That is where “Act A Fool” comes from.<\/span><\/p>\n
