Coming from a family of six brothers and three sisters, 26 year old Aliyah "TruTh" Thomas did not have a "boring" or "normal" childhood. Her parents immigrated to Canada from Trinidad, and converted to Islam in 1965. Her large family and Islamic upbringing have had alot of influence on her spokenword poetry. However, although raised in Islam, she still finds herself struggling with the "dunya" (worldy pleasures)...and it shows throughout her poetry. Pieces like "Don't Believe the Hype" clear up alot of misconceptions about Islam, while "Schizophrenic" shows a side of her you won't get the chance to meet...unless of course you get on her bad side...
Writing since she was a child, and performing since June of 2004 - Aliyah tackles topics such as drug addiction, racism, political corruption, child soldiers, black pride, redemption, poverty, death, life and love. She's blessed mics in Montreal and Ottawa, will appear on the upcoming mixtape compilation, HOOD2VILLE (now released/see flyer on the left) and 514/411 Volume: 3...a dvd showcasing some of Montreal's up&coming talent. Aliyah is currently working on writing and recording for the first cd compilation of her own work entitled, "BulletProofSoul" - a name taken from a song by one of her favourite artists, Sade.
She is a member of Parlay4Sho/OnDaGrind poetry collective - run by her older sister, Tymelust, and her partner, Luvlee. She also supports ZU - her older brother who writes/performs spokenword poetry as well, and Unknown Battallion - an up&coming independent record label run by her 2 younger brothers and their friend. Guess it runs in the family.
