3LISS

Chicago native 3LISS, 23, isn’t just chasing music — he’s building a future. In five years, he sees himself providing for both his family and the youth, creating opportunities for the next generation that extend far beyond the stage.

His artistry is shaped by diverse inspirations: Juice WRLD, David Bowie, and Marilyn Manson. Together, they represent vulnerability, creativity, and raw edge, the same elements that fuel 3LISS’s own evolving sound. The path hasn’t been easy. At one point, 3LISS found himself homeless, bouncing from hotel to hotel while touring and trying to make his dream work before it was too late. Those hardships gave him a sharper perspective, teaching him resilience and pushing him to pour his truth into every track.

His introduction to music carries a powerful story. After Juice WRLD’s passing, 3LISS had a surreal experience on mushrooms where Juice appeared to him in a dream. Though he couldn’t make out the words, the vision felt like a call to action, a sign to pursue music wholeheartedly. Around the same time, betrayal in a relationship added more fuel, giving him the spark he needed to turn pain into purpose. From the South Side to the stage, 3LISS is carving out his own lane: one built on survival, creativity, and the mission to give back. His story is just beginning, but his vision makes it clear: he’s here to inspire a culture that the youth can feed on for generations to come.
