Who is Eryx

I’m a Chicago-based independent artist creating music rooted in self-reflection, emotional honesty, and personal evolution. My sound lives at the intersection of melodic hip-hop and alternative pop — raw, introspective, and intentional. Shaped by experiences of heartbreak, ambition, isolation, and growth. I write music for people who feel deeply, think constantly, and are trying to understand who they’re becoming.

Before fully committing to music, I spent years working in high-pressure highly accredited kitchens, rising to the role of sous chef. That environment taught me discipline, patience, and how to trust a process — lessons that directly inform how I approach songwriting and recording today. I treat music the same way I treated food: obsessive attention to detail, long hours behind the scenes, and a refusal to cut corners.

My work isn’t about chasing trends or quick moments. It’s about telling my story honestly, documenting each phase of growth, and creating songs that feel lived-in rather than manufactured. Every project is a chapter — not just of my career, but of who I am becoming..
