Chicago Artist Eddie Bars Opens Up About Music as Therapy and Announces New Single

Rising artist Eddie Bars is turning pain into power through his music. Hailing from the streets of Chicago, the rapper and songwriter has used his craft as an escape from life’s hardships—now, he’s ready to share his story with the world.

From Foster Care to the Mic

Eddie’s journey into music began at just 11 years old. “It was therapy for me as a kid,” he reveals. “I was going through a lot of struggles with my family.” By 12, he was placed in the foster care system, separated from his loved ones. “Music became my family and my escape from emotional pain,” he shares.

What Sets Eddie Bars Apart?

When asked what makes him different, Eddie points to his mindset. “I process information really fast and see things in ways most people can’t imagine.” Beyond his creativity, his empathy stands out. “I genuinely care about everyone being in a comfortable situation. Most people just focus on themselves—I’m different.”

One of his favorite lyrics comes from his song "Suitcase":
“I never trust what I see with my eyes no more, lately they tricking me too.”

Now, Eddie is gearing up to drop his new single, "Look What You Did," from his upcoming album Dear GOD. The track promises raw emotion and introspection, further showcasing his unique perspective.
