Cybadiss Perspective on Molly

I go by Cybadiss (CYB) — real name Camryn. I was raised in Portland, Oregon, and music has always been a part of me. I’ve been singing since I was 8, from choir to every music class I could get into. I make music, I create art, and I build a safe space for my thoughts, emotions, and creativity to live in.

Take my track “Molly” — it’s more than a song, it’s a journal. It’s a journey. Everything I’ve seen growing up, even the things I wasn’t fully involved in, still shaped me. I talk about real love, real loss, and the internal battles I fight to hold on to what matters. I don’t speak about things I don’t understand — I keep it real. I’ve lost friends, I’ve grown as a man, and now I live in a house full of people I love. That growth and that pain are all in the music.

I was probably 4 or 5, laying on the top bunk listening to the radio. Those early 2000s songs stuck with me. I didn’t just hear the lyrics — I felt them. That era taught me so many styles and emotions. I remember thinking, “I want to be like them. I want people to know my story, my name, my music.” That’s when the dream really sparked.

It started with a challenge. A friend pushed me to respond to something — so I made a diss track. I dropped it online, and the whole school heard it. People were talking, reaching out… that was the moment I knew I had something. It was rough, raw, but it was real. I felt alive in that moment. Ever since, music became my outlet. When I feel something, I go straight to the mic. I freestyle most of it — I only write when I’m deep in the zone. That first track may be gone, but it lit the fire.
