| Born in a small town in Mississippi, role models were not in an abundant supply for Stephanie Evans, better known as Lyric to thousands of fans worldwide. Stephanie grew up in a single parent household, in which her mother struggled to take care of her and her two siblings. Dealing with welfare dependency, |
Eqracial discrimination, creative suffocation, and the desire to break the shackled fate of her childhood peers, she made an early decision to break the mold and push for a better way of life for her and her family through pursuing higher education. She had family in nearby Houston, Texas, and Stephanie decided to relocate and attend the University of Houston and major in Economics.
uipped with drive and determination to change her destiny, Stephanie quickly adapted to the nation's fourth largest city. Without any financial support coming from anywhere, she decided to embark on a project that she had never fathomed of doing. One day a friend of hers took some amateur photos of her and posted them on www.blackplane.com. The fan base grew rapidly and the guys wanted to know where they could see more of Miss Lyric.
Not realizing how her assets would magnify in print, she jokingly admitted that she would try launching her own website. That friend became her business partner and the joke became www.lyric0611.com. She used the name Lyric after the character Jada Pinkett Smith, in the movie Jason's Lyric. Combining what she was learning in school and her partners' internet marketing savvy, the website propelled Stephanie into a new world of marketing and publicity that provided her with enough supplemental income. Lyric0611.com now receives over fifty thousand hits per month. This small town girl had now established a nationwide presence.
Lyric has graced the pages of King Magazine, twice in Smooth Magazine (winning the Smooth Mag Contest and winning 1st Runner Up in the Smooth 100 contest with 300K plus votes), Black Men and SSX magazine(where she will soon be writing a small column), Hip-Hop Connection (London), Game Magazine, and street accredited Feds Magazine. She has also been featured in www.barberdolls.com calendars for three years. On 2003, she shared the coveted cover. She also is one of the original www.summerbunnies.com models, and is featured on the cover of their 2005 calendar. She has also graced the screen in movies and music videos with stars such as DMX, Big Moe, Juvenile, E40, & Scarface. Recently, Lyric was chosen to go on tour as one of 10 models to be featured on a reality DVD show starring Snoop Dogg.
The industry will soon be biting this Lyric. [ source from her site]
