E.O.S.

It was the winter of 2000 when two ambitious and talented South Asian emcees met for the first time. Although they recognized each other's skills as artists, 'Indie' and 'Synic' battled consistently to out do one another. It became evident that their efforts were being wasted, and realized that they should join forces rather than bang heads. With the combination of Synic's production background along with Indie's clever wordplay and catchy melodies, the two decided to start recording music in a self-made studio. The duo showed great potential, however, their lack of experience was reflected in their songs. Seeking guidance, they reached out to another artist who had already attained local notoriety. Six foot five, 'I-Que', understanding the significance of this venture, joined 'Indie' and 'Synic' without hesitation. The duo had now become the crew known as… E.O.S.



Indie, I-Que, and Synic formed E.O.S. with many common goals in mind. Hip hop was a lifestyle that the three shared and represented together. They soon broke out into the music industry, but suddenly learned there was more to hip hop than just making music.



On September 11th, 2001, the world changed forever. The 9/11 attacks created fear, chaos, racism and hate toward Arab and South Asian communities. This helped spark a new level of inspiration and sense of focus for the group. There was a lot to be said on many fronts and E.O.S planned to touch on them all.



In 2002 E.O.S. produced their first professional recording, an EP titled 'First Saved Message'. It was a conscious and truthfully inspiring creation for the group. Gaining distinction for their deep, life telling stories in such songs as 'Rollercoaster', E.O.S. was beginning to receive recognition for their talent. Although the group had much support early on, none of the songs from the EP received any significant exposure. Consequently, they realized the importance of creating diverse music and developed a mindset to cater to all types of listeners. E.O.S. felt that Urban music is a genre like Rock and Pop, such that it ought to transcend race, gender, and age. As a result, they started producing music by fusing elements from other genres into their own musical style.



In 2006 they combined efforts with multi-platinum producer Marcus Kane to make their first radio singles. Their first song 'Keep Clappin'' received spins worldwide, and was named one of the top 103 Songs of 2006 on Z103.5 in Toronto. Their second single 'Tonight' also received international recognition throughout the clubs, as well as radio. Off the momentum of their radio success, E.O.S. independently released their first full-length album 'The Rap Superhero LP'. Showcasing their distinct style by creating songs that would appeal to everyone.



E.O.S. also pride themselves on being one of the only South Asian urban groups to be recognized on the commercial forefront. The E.O.S. movement continues to grow through reviews in magazines and websites such as Anokhi, DesiVibe, NOW and more.



More recently, E.O.S. has released a song in alliance with the Toronto Raptors called 'Let's Go Raptors'. The song, along with radio play, has a music video that airs during Raptors basketball broadcasts on television.



E.O.S. is currently preparing to release their brand new single 'Bumpin'' featuring Canadian pop sensation Addictiv. The crew has also teamed up with world-renowned radio promotor Oscar Furtado for this release – coming to a radio station near you.
