Seattle influenced hiphop you get to elevate to because i smoked while making it. just be yourself and enjoy this shit. 

An emcee is more than an entertainer, more than an orator, more than a poet. Training in philosophy has allowed me to dissolve borders between ideas and let my mind wander freely. I rap because, like my mind, verbal expression has no boundaries. My songs and their lyrics are the most accurate expression of my mental states and processes. I write with no clear goal or direction, for to do so is to narrow my scope. I can only open my mind and show you what’s inside. That is how I let you know that I’m real.

Shaped by Jared Squires (@jaredsquires) (guitar/vocals), Luke Nevills (@luke-nevills) (bass/keys/guitar), Brandon Hailey (saxophone), Owen Mayo (guitar/keys/bass), Trevor Church (@trevdchurch) (drums), Connor Merritt (aux percussion), Alex Dean (synth/keys), and Sean Connelly (@Seanycee) (vocals/keys), Cytrus’ eight-piece funk-driven fusion makes a place at the table for everyone, offering a psychedelic pallet of funk, disco, electronic, rock, soul, hip-hop, and more. The Seattle-based band is personalized by its juicy synths, bass-induced grooves, and cinematic live performances. However, the group is best known for their flowing transitions in variety, consistently sonic wall of sound, and undeniable chemistry. 

In their short time together, Cytrus has witnessed massive growth within itself and the surrounding community. Originally founded as a four-piece in early 2018 under the cover of HopSol, the ‘couple buds’ quickly began to absorb additional musicians and soon came to completely and precipitously join forces with a group formerly known as @BunkFoss. As a bi-product, the eight-piece has begun to build a dedicated fan base in the Northwest and beyond, co-hosting multiple sold out events throughout Western Washington and becoming a go-to act for promoters throughout the region. The merge sparked a turning point in the band’s sound, energy, and presence, ergo giving Cytrus its newfound name.
