Music News: Former Apollo Quad Vocalist to Release Debut E.P.

21355-628_20_1_20of_201_Having opened for such acts as Snoop Dog and The Ying Yang Twins, alternative hip hop artist Hythum prepares a February 19th release date for “Schematics”
“With this E.P. I just want to remind people the importance of passion.” says alternative hip hop vocalist Hythum El-sayyad. “There are people who literally have nothing but each other and they are extremely happy, so it reminded me to focus less on possessions and more on people and the smaller things in life that make us happy.”
Produced by Chip Reardin (Straight No Chaser) at Airtime Studios, “Schematics” has influences reaching from Billy Joel and Pink Floyd, to The Roots and Common.  Hythum was also influenced by his recent trip to see his father in Egypt, having visited him before, during, and after the Arab Spring. “I feel the recent reformation in Egypt was just a great reminder that we control our own destiny.” Hythum states. “Anything is possible when people come together in a positive nature. This was huge for my music; a sense of unity, a sense of freedom, and helping one another. Egypt is on the rise; it will take time but it’s a beautiful country full of ambitious open- minded and promising individuals.”
Hythum decided earlier in his career that he wanted to make sure he used his birth name instead of a stage name for his music and performances. “My heritage is for me a point of pride” states Hythum. “We have such a rich and long running culture and the El-sayyad family is very big in Egypt, so keeping my name is important to retaining that.”
After fronting the band Apollo Quad for 5 years Hythum has now set off to explore a new project searching for new sounds and ways to expand and improve his songwriting. He has logged hundreds of shows including opening for major acts such as Snoop Dogg, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Ying Yang Twins, and Jeremiah.
