"Canada's Dopest Female Emcee"
- Exclaim Magazine, 2001


Hip Hop artist Eternia has graced the cover of Toronto's "The Eyeopener", Vancouver's "Terminal City", and Sydney Australia's "Homebase". All three magazines had one thing in common: they saw in Eternia a fiery commitment to succeed and growing star potential. If Eternia's unrelenting drive and incomparable skill is any indication, it will not be long before the rest of the world scrambles for the coattails of this lyrical phenomenon. Meet Canada's answer to: 'Who's Got Next?'

For twenty-three years Eternia has contributed to the positive musical vibrations around her. Born to parents who were extremely musically inclined, she began performing in church as a toddler, and continued throughout her teens. At age eight she was introduced to the culture that would captivate her for life: Hip Hop. Eternia started reciting lyrics, and before long, she was scribing her own extraordinary material. However, it was just a hobby until 1994, when she decided to take emceeing seriously; from local stages to radio stations - no microphone has been safe ever since.

Eternia has tightened her skills in street ciphers, studio sessions, and live shows. She's rocked rhymes from crowded subway cars in the Bronx, to ciphers outside of the Nuyorican Poet's Cafe (Manhattan), to street corners in Philadelphia. Eternia has performed at a variety of N.Y.C. venues including Wetlands, S.O.B.'s, Bowery Ballroom, and Baby Jupiter. She's also graced cities in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan, Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, Texas, and Pennsylvania. In Canada, she's rocked crowds and rhymed on campus radio stations from Ottawa, Ontario all the way to Vancouver, British Columbia. In 2003, Eternia extended her musical experience overseas, where Australia proved to be fruitful ground for her vivacious lyrical passion.

Eternia's first songs were recorded in Brooklyn, with the tri-state super-group "the DemiGodz" (including Atlantic Records recording artist Apathy). From there she would go on to make numerous guest appearances on records across the U.S.A., Canada, and Australia. In 2001, Eternia was officially introduced to the Toronto Hip Hop scene with the anthem "What We Gonna Do", accompanied by cohorts MC Collizhun and Adversaree the N.M.E. In 2002, she released her solo promotional track "Work It Out" (as heard on Toronto's FLOW 93.5). But it would undeniably be "Sorrow Song" that placed Eternia in the national spotlight, with support from VideoFACT, Much Music, Universal Music Canada and Phem Phat Productions.

In 2004, Eternia was featured in the music video "Just The Way It Is" (with Classified, D.L. Incognito, and Maestro), and also released her second music video with Freestyle of the Arsonists entitled "Understand If I" - a single featured on both her upcoming album and Freestyle's first solo offering "Etched in Stone" off of Battle Axe Records.

Early this year, Eternia presents "Where I Been - The Collection", a mix CD of Eternia's past releases, exclusive drops, unreleased material, international collaborations, and fresh singles. The Collection serves to prepare the public for her unreleased, solo full-length album, "It's Called Life", funded by FACTOR Canada and executive-produced by Eternia.

A graduate in Broadcast Journalism and Sociology from Ryerson University, Eternia's work ethic and commitment to her craft is unparalleled in the urban music industry. As an emcee, Eternia's focus is potent content, along with innovative lyricism, delivery and style. Eternia is determined to eternally make music that excites, entertains, and enlightens her listeners... "from local to the universe".
