If I Dropped By... with DOE EYE


This week I posed my "If I Dropped By..." question to Bay Area musician, Maryam Qudus, who performs under the moniker DOE EYE.  She is currently working on her full-length debut record with producer John Vanderslice.  You can find out more about the upcoming album by visiting her Kickstarter project page.  Continue reading to see what I found out during my hypothetical visit to DOE EYE's home.

Quirky NY Chick (QNYC): ... and brought a friend who didn't know your music, what song of yours would you play for them and why?

DOE EYE (DE): I would play them “I Hate You”. It's a relatable song and has a cool music video to go along with it. Or I would show them a new song I am working on for my new record.

(QNYC): ... what song or album would you feel I needed to hear before I left?

(DE): I would show you my most recent EP Hotel Fire and the new songs on my debut full length record.

(QNYC): ... would you proudly display the cheesy music in your collection or pretend someone left it by mistake?

(DE): I am PROUD of my Backstreet Boys, *N Sync and Britney Spears collection. Will most likely be displayed on my mantle.

(QNYC): … baseball, football or basketball?

(DE): Baseball and basketball!!!! I love going to SF Giant's games on my free time. I used to play in my middle school basketball team so I am a big basketball fan as well.

(QNYC): … cake or pie?

(DE): DONUTS.

(QNYC): ... what's one thing you must have in your refrigerator at all times?

(DE): ICE CREAM
