Eternia, named Silk-Anne Semiramis Kaya by her mother, is from Toronto, and she splits half of her time between Queens, NY & Toronto (Rexdale). I sat down with Eternia to talk shop before she hits the road hard for promotion and touring in 2010 (see “At Last” project below).
B FRESH: For those out there who aren’t farmiliar with your work, what is your craft?
Eternia: I’m an emcee. Hip Hop Artist. Lyricist. Fill-in-the-Blank-Here. But I do a lot more than rap. I love, live, breathe, learn, grow…..
BF: Tell us 5 things that no one knows about you:
E: 1) I only listen to, like, 3 new rap albums a year. (on repeat, for years…) 2) I love Muse. 3) I havn’t been in a serious relationship in almost a decade. 4) I love 30 Rock. But I prefer to watch things on my own, limited, time schedule, so TV & me don’t mix. 5) If I could, I’d only make music with close friends. I view the music I make like my children, and I view unreleased, lost songs like ‘dead babies.’ I have a lot of dead babies. That’s why I’m always uncomfortable working with random people… it’s like having casual sex w/ a stranger and creating a baby outta the situation. Not a good look.
BF: What do you have planned for 2010?
E: “AT LAST”… At Last! (hehe). MoSS and I created this album together, and we both are equally passionate about the outcome. It’s been a long time coming… 2007 is when we started, to be exact. We’re dropping the album spring of this year. So that’s my 2010 in a nutshell.. touring, promoting, and generally being a worker bee for that project.
BF: Where can people reach you?
E: Pick a site, any site:

BF: Any last words?
E: Minneapolis! I rocked B-Girl Be there in Sept and I really wanted to move there after what I saw and felt! Shout out to DJ Sav One at TheUndergroundComeup.com, for his friendship & the crazy man hours he’s been putting in. Shout out to positive, independent-minded folks who support good indie music (female or male, hip hop or not) Worldwide. And to YOU, B Fresh, and this site, for having me on it.
