Free The Music

By Lyrycyst • Aug 11th, 2009 • Category: Artists in Residence

In lieu of an original blog, Lyrycyst (aka Steven Cooper) passed along this latest release to keep us up to date on what’s going on with him.
“When you write music to make a difference in people, you want the people to have it at any cost,” Lyrycyst states about his new campaign to give away [...]


Learning To Be Free

By Lyrycyst • Jul 9th, 2009 • Category: Artists in Residence

Before I was involved in the christian music industry, I spent almost 3 years doing music in the mainstream music world. I still laugh at some of the similarities between the two. I hear people preach all the time that if you want different results, you need to do something different than what [...]


Cancer Patient

By Lyrycyst • Mar 13th, 2009 • Category: Artists in Residence

Today I received an email from a mom of a young girl that has been suffering with tumors on her brain for many years now. She has undergone many surgeries and has spent most of her childhood in and out of the hospital dealing with this issue.
The young girl was recently rushed to the hospital [...]


On The Road Again

By Lyrycyst • Jan 26th, 2009 • Category: Artists in Residence

In two weeks I leave for a 30 city tour throughout the US and Canada. I don’t think there’s anytime in my life that is more stressful and busy than the weeks leading up to a major tour. There’s a million and one things to get done and rehearsals never seem to go [...]


Reaching Out

Today I am sitting at the airport waiting to fly away from what has been two weeks of intense recording as I put the final touches on my new album Revolution. I’ve been going non-stop doing 10-15 hour shifts in the studio and living off white mocha’s. (yum!) About a year ago I [...]


God and Choices

By Lyrycyst • Sep 8th, 2008 • Category: Artists in Residence

I’ve debated about posting this blog because I know it will stir a little bit of controversy if it’s just glanced over. I think it’s something that needs to be said, especially with the election drawing nearer every day. So I thought I might give it a go.
Humans are the only creation God [...]


Busy Bodies

By Lyrycyst • Jul 15th, 2008 • Category: Artists in Residence

If there’s one thing that I struggle with on a daily basis with God, it would be the concept of being still. I have grown up in a fast paced society, I have been trained to take everything upon myself and get it done as efficiently and as quickly as possible, and I have [...]


God Loves Rap Music Too!

By Lyrycyst • Jun 2nd, 2008 • Category: Artists in Residence

Rap music has been my passion since the first time I was exposed to it in middle school. Granted, most rap music of our generation does nothing but compromise morality and degrade our society. I was a victim of the mainstream rap messages for many years of my life. But I am [...]
