Idris Vicuña (born May 28, 1990), known professionally as Eyedress, is a Filipino singer-songwriter, rapper, and record producer.

Early life[]

Eyedress was raised in an area in the Philippines which he described as "ghetto", and began playing the guitar at a young age. He and his family moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he was introduced to punk music through the "gangsters" and "anarchist types" in his neighborhood.[8] At age 13, he and his family moved to California after his father, an animator, started working with 20th Century Fox. While living in Orange County, California, he joined the crust punk band Liberal Underground as a bassist.[9] He moved back to the Philippines at age 15 with his family. Before starting his career as a musician, he designed clothing for a brief period of time and, at age 20, he started composing music by making beats on his laptop and releasing them for free online.[1]

Life and career[]

After gaining a small following from making beats, Eyedress was introduced to Filipino singer Skint Eastwood through a promoter from Manila, and the two collaborated on the song "Biolumine". The song earned him attention from a French label which pushed for him to make an album, which then earned him a record deal with Abeano Records, a subsidiary of XL Recordings.[1] On December 2, 2013, he released his debut extended play, Supernatural, which he recorded in his bedroom using FL Studio.[10][4]

Eyedress released his debut mixtape, Hearing Colors, as a free digital download on April 11, 2014.[11] He released his second EP, Egyptian Night Club, on SoundCloud on July 27, 2014.[12] In September 2014, he released the single "Polo Tee" as a tribute to American record producer DJ Rashad. He released his first mixtape after leaving XL Recordings, Shapeshifter, in 2015.

His three studio albums were released on Lex Records: Manila Ice, on May 12, 2017;[7] Sensitive G, on November 16, 2018;[13] and Let's Skip to the Wedding on August 7, 2020.

Two singles from Let's Skip to the Wedding, "Jealous" and "Romantic Lover" became viral hits on TikTok and "Jealous" was certified Gold in Poland and the USA in August 2021.[14][15][16]

Personal life[]

Eyedress met Elvia in 2019 at a concert.[8] The two got married in 2020.[1] He has one son with his wife and a daughter with his ex-girlfriend.[7]
