IRON LYON LLC
MIAMI, FLORIDA

Iron Lyon Bio For DJ Iron Lyon, DJing was a calling that appealed to him early in life. Hailing from Western Massachusetts, Lyon learned of his love for music at an early age. His father, a bass player, initially inspired him with his regular play of funk and soul records. Then at the age of fourteen, Lyon began collecting his own records, never thinking that in the years to come he would find himself working alongside many of the artists that once sparked his initial love for music. Soon enough he was a regular at premier venues like One Oak, Gold Bar and Butter. His DJ rotation also included Roxy Cottontail’s Legendary Sway Mondays, Vashtie Kola’s 1992 Party, and Tuesdays at Greenhouse alongside legends Questlove, Q-Tip, Jazzy Jeff, Kid Capri, DJ Premier, Clark Kent, Biz Markie and Funk Master Flex. Iron Lyon also performed at Vashtie and Q-Tip’s Open event at Santos Party House alongside DJ Premier and DJ Scratch.

Despite the setback, he started to DJ where he could, with the use of his one good arm, while he recovered. Eventually he was doing regular gigs at clubs Story, FDR, Set, and Mansion.

Lyon is also no stranger to rocking celebrity heavy rooms. He’s performed for a number of VIP events hosted and attended by guests including His diverse range of sound has brought him on tour throughout Japan, Europe, Canada and Brazil and he’s released countless mixes and original productions. Over the years Lyon has also been the DJ for performances for artists including Nas, Miguel, J. Cole, Wiz Khalifa, Rae Sremmurd, Pusha T, DJ Khaled, Method Man, Slick Rick and Too Short. When it comes to his approach to DJing, for Iron Lyon, DJing is not about being an expert at one genre. Instead he prefers the idea of mixing a cross section of sounds together.
