Lyrics Born

Tom Shimura aka Lyrics Born has been making music since his college days. A Bay Area-native Lyrics Born's raw, authentic talent has been polished to a gleaming beacon of originality in a time when it's needed most. One defining characteristic of his sound has been that it can be described as unequivocally fun however, LB does routinely peel back the gregarious exterior to reveal a contemplative everyman, and it's times like this that his true artistry is apparent. Lyrics Born had been a music obsessive since his youth, and in 1993 freestyles among a group of UC Davis classmates. From these humble beginnings he evolved his sound and delivered his most realized project to date, 2003's Later That Day. The album yielded his biggest commercial success to date, "Callin' Out". He followed up in 2008 with Everywhere At Once, that signaled a departure from the sample-based pieces he had become known for, supplementing the sound with a full band and a healthy dose of synthesizers.
