www.lyonmusic1.com INTRODUCING LYON - REGGAETON AT IT'S FINEST!
Hear The Roar
Lanham, MD (BlackNews.com) - Although new to the Reggaeton scene, this high-energy artist is no newcomer to performing. Panama City, Panama born, Alfonso Pierre (LYON) has been mesmerizing crowds since the age of nine. It began as simple as winning talent shows from the age of nine throughout his teenage years from songs that he composed.
The streets of Panama that had been his launching pad to stardom, were not always kind to LYON. After witnessing the death of five friends and escaping death himself, he escaped to a deep appreciation for music that would soon change his life. It was time to fully devote his life to his passion and talents. LYON wasted no time when he joined another aspiring artist named Norberto Carmona to form a duo called "Peacemakers".
Soon the duo became a group of four and the name was changed to the "Mad Family". The Mad family's notariety in Panama grew quickly and the group found themselves among top Reggae and Spanish artists such as; Aldo Ranks, Sopouse, El Roockie, Kafu Banton, Pricipal and Las Baby Swing. Although growing in popularity so were the groups creative differences and for this reason LYON decided to embark on his solo career.
In 2004, LYON met his now manager, Henry "The Boss" Yawson who believed in his talent. Mr. Yawson quickly introduced him to BG Records CEO and top producer, Lionel Green. It wasn't long after that a record deal was inked and his first CD single "Hold Me Close" was released. The hot Reggaeton mix was produced by Elian Davis and also features Maria "Lady L" Kery. Since completing his single, LYON has already opened up for major artists such as Trillville and Mike Jones.
Now in 2006, with a new single and music video underway, the Hip Hop, Reggae, Latin and Reggaton industry has no choice but to prepare for the year of the LYON.
