MAKR AN ERIS

MAKR AN ERIS is a Rapper/Producer duo based out of Minneapolis composed of MAKR & Sophia Eris. Mark McGee aka MAKR is a composer and producer from Richmond, VA. His projects include RONiiA, Marijuana Deathsquads, Father You See Queen, and To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie. Lauren Alford aka Sophia Eris is an Artist/DJ/Composer from Dayton, OH, whose projects include The Chalice, GRRRL PRTY, and touring DJ for Grammy Award-winning Lizzo.

Both raised by military families (MAKR - Navy, Sophia - Air Force), they somehow both found their way to Minneapolis in pursuit of their musical interests. After graduating with a music business degree in 2009, Sophia Eris began circulating through the Minneapolis music scene, where she met MAKR in 2012. It wasn’t until 2020 that the two began collaborating with each other due to sharing the same studio space at Mid City Studios in Uptown Minneapolis. They shared a common love for Hip Hop & curiosity, which grew into a mutual respect and admiration for one another.

Since 2020, they’ve put out two EPs (MAKR AN ERIS and ME 2), which have gained them notoriety, including receiving one of the “Top 10 best albums of the Year” by Star Tribune. On their upcoming full-length project LILITH, they will conquer their most experimental rebellion yet, blending Hip-Hop, Punk, R&B, and B’more Club.
