EJ von LYRIK hails from a township called Mitchell’s Plain on the Cape
Flats, Cape Town, South Africa.
She has been writing and performing her own material ever since she
started working on music as a career in 1997. Having a distinct interest
in music production, she started producing her own instrumentals in
2001. Her music is an eclectic mix of funk, rock, dancehall, hip hop and roots reggae.
She is a strong advocate for human upliftment and inspiration through the medium
of music and therefore her music carries positive messages in her lyrics.
E.J feels the reason for this cross-over of musical genres is to reach out to a more
diverse audience because the music is message orientated.
She has performed on various international stages as well as
collaborating with some hefty names in the music industry, and was a member
of the (now disbanded) legendary, female hip hop group Godessa.
