Tyrone Bio
Every hood, barrio and city in America has a Tyrone. The story is a familiar one, either, "I went to school with a Tyrone", "I guess Tyrone is doing good despite his surroundings", "Tyrone owes me money" or "Tyrone got locked up".
The sound of Tyrone is definitively unique and encompasses several aspects of life in the innercity. It is delivered from several perspectives, from an old man's wisdom to a grown man's logic but with the spirit and cockiness of a young street kid. Being the music producer and emcee enables Tyrone to have control over the music, lyrics and ultimately the completed song. The outcome is not just a few verses over a hot beat but a style from a character that has a remarkable sound.
Effortlessly lyrics are spit over everything from blues and soul to classical with topics about taxes, crime, child support, love, God and all things celibacy. "I am a product of my enviroment without a doubt; just remember everyone who was raised in terrible circumstances do not always become a menace, I represent the poor working class of the innercity, I got grown people issues".
The talented musician began playing by ear at 8, running his own studio at 14. With a record collection in the thousands he's garnered a sound understanding of multiple genres of music.
Under the name LHAM:7, Tyrone made his dent in the underground Hip Hop scene with a cameo on C.A.V.E's "Ice, Water and Steam". However he really set things off with the song "The War", which appeared on the Evolution of Hip Hop compilation. It was later picked up by Snowboarder Magazine's Couching Tiger DVD and soundtrack. The song displayed his "I don't give a what" attitude as a rhymer and unparalleled creativity as a producer. The incredible break, with cathedral organs, and cannon blasts accompany the war raged lyrics setting the perfect backdrop as proffessional snowboarder's rip down the mountains.
The key to his great song making is to be able to spit different styles and patterns to take each release to the next level. The sound of Tyrone's vocals are unique and with incredible music production it is simply uncomparable. Being familiar with the sounds and techniques of various genres and era's is an asset when setting the tone in his music production. A passion for incredible new directions in sound is what prompts and inspire's Tyrone to dig through record crates, 8 track sleeves, cassette cases, sound discs, and the internet to compose ill keyboard and sample chops for the masses to enjoy.
