Living the City Lyfe

December 21 was a wonderful day of Lyfe. This day is when the Female Music Artist City Lyfe has been born into this world!
BIO written by City Lyfe:
"brushing my shoulders off, caution sweepers ahead….I'm up late night like a diesel while you laying in bed....
It is safe to say, when thinking of Phoenix, Arizona, the words "desert", "heat", "slow", and even "wild" come to mind. Knowing this city's history, from the days of the Cowboy West, to the expansion of the cartel drug trade route, and even the meteoric rise of the sports scene, the words "new" and "undiscovered" take on a shape of its own. The same is to
be said about me, aka City Lyfe.
Born in the western high plains of Lubbock, Texas, City Lyfe was exposed to the “Giant Side of Texas" and the ideals and morals of life through music. Moving to Phoenix, AZ at a very young age with her mother and Step Father, she began life in the desert as a toddler. City Lyfe's mother, Annetta, saw a star early in life, and persistently advised the young perfectionist towards the clarinet, guitar, piano, dancing and anything of music nature. The instruments and the passion for music itself drove City towards writing music in junior high school, where she believed the stardom could be a reality. She gravitated towards Lauryn Hill and KRS-One, giving her both insight and influence. Allowing school to be a
#1 priority, it wasn't until an opportunity to perform with group Milli Styles, did Miss City Lyfe, known as Solo at the time a chance to begin shining.
Solo was introduced to the lead member of Milli Styles by her best friend at the time, and there was no
mistaking the obvious talent of the artist who too would eventually lead the group. Consistency became key and gave Solo the needed edge to standout from those of her group. With many long days and restless nights, Solo would work to exhibit skills as a vocalist and writer of song concepts to rock the stage.
Performing at The Mason Jar on her first live show, Solo became "Choklit City", an artist shaped and molded by ancestors past, through her beautiful brown features, to her queen-like demeanor. As a member of Milli Styles, City began to see her skill grow. Being a fan of Missy Elliot, she saw her artistry expand from hip-hop to R&B to even pop music.
Soon after, she had a chance op to meet up with members made up of Junior High, and High School friends known as Dominant Breed. With growth taking place it became easier for City to understand the business of entertainment better.
This came to be the change that City needed to ascend to greater heights. Co-releasing "Gender" and "Twilyte Zone", the road led to performances, larger audiences, and a greater hip-hop appreciation. The Queens understanding of business grew once more. City's growth inspired a transition for a more marketable name that defined the life and place lived by the artist who became City Lyfe.
Though City Lyfe had many phases in life this did not stop the surrounding supporters from keeping up with the artist and all she brought to the table musically. City Lyfe released "With All Due Respect" and other mix-tape projects that would be distributed in other states as well as locally. Giving up on her music was far from a thought as City Lyfe continued with a humbled persona. Through her musical journey her superlative personality captivated the audience and further rewarded her with performances at Birthday parties, Junteenth, College Pep rallies, auditoriums, Arizona State Fair, and trips outside of Phoenix. City Lyfe thrived with determination and ambition to achieve all
things possible within her music career and released "Concrete Jungle" in 2012. This rewarded her "album of the year" at the Arizona Hoodie awards, recognizing Arizona's local artist and their accomplishments.
Her role in the creative world of music wouldn't stop there as she continued with Co-releasing "Work Flow" a project which consisted of a duo member team, she and a longtime friend developed. City Lyfe has been selected and chosen for nationwide release mix-tapes and various projects around the world as way to expand her music.
As we approach a new dawn in music. Where style is not identified by coastal affiliations, or gender bias the life of artist lives and dies on creativity. A place where City Lyfe thrives and allows change to be the rule of the day, a woman that is untainted by trend, or whom she works with, A true Queen in her own right rising high and fast. City Lyfe continues as an unsigned hype in Phoenix, Az where she has gained the support of many fans and representation to do what it takes.
From Twitter to Instagram, to Facebook and Youtube, City Lyfe works to cover all avenues of social media and music web streaming for noticeability. Nothing for the artist has been glitter and gold, and certainly has been a challenge to overcome. City Lyfe's biggest motivation stems from her passion, and hunger to relay the message of reality and personal experiences through her music.
Stay Tuned…

St. Madness








In early 1997 I was approached at one of our concerts at THE MASON JAR here in Phoenix
Arizona by a guy named JohnBaxter who at the time was the manager of Rob Halford from
Judas Priest. John told me that he had watched our show and he really saw a lot of similarities
between me and Ozzy vocally, and how we both perform and move back and forth a lot on stage.
John wanted to set me up with an audition for Black Sabbath. When he told me this I felt all the
blood rush out of my legs and I asked him to repeat what he had just said, lol! John told me that
few people knew, but Rob had joined Sabbath and they were planning on doing an album and
world tour with Rob, but that a little over 6 months prior to this Rob and Tony had a falling out.
John told me that Sabbath had been auditioning guys for 6 months and Tony didn't like any of
them. John asked me if I would be interested in the audition and did I think that I could sing
Sabbath music? I told him that BLACK SABBATH is one of my alltime favorite bands and
YES, I think I could do the job! John told me that he really thought that I was the guy for the job
as well, and he added if you audition and get the job which I really think you will then you will
also help to put me and Rob in good standings with Tony once again. This was on a Monday
night in early 1997 (I believe) and JohnBaxter gave me his card and told me to call him on
Friday and he would let me know about the audition. For 4 nights, I hardly slept and probably
needed to wear DEPENDS 'cause I was shitting myself! On that Friday, I called John Baxter
and he said, "You aren't going to believe what's happened - OZZY JUST REJOINED
SABBATH AND THEY ARE PLANNING A WORLD TOUR". I was elated and numb at the
same time - thrilled that Ozzy was back in Sabbath but also a little bummed that I had missed an
audition with Sabbath (as Maxwell Smart always says, 'by that much' 1010 Looking back, it
was a huge honor just to have the manager of Rob Halford approach me and think that I was
good enough to even be considered for an audition with the great BLACK SABBATH. gym/
SCARLET RIVERS: I've been in quite a few bands, painted quite a few things and played in
front of a lot of people in my life but I think the best is yet to come. I work at being a better
player every day, and I'm grateful to be around such amazing musicians and people as my
bandmates.
FINAL STATEMENT:
PROPHET: I want to thank you for asking us to do this interview and to share with your readers
a little bit about ourselves and ST. MADNESS.
LONG LIVE THE FANS OF TATTOOS AND METAL MUSIC!!!
