BIOGRAPHY

Born to parents from a small village in Gumpaha, Sri Lanka, DeLon learned at an early age the importance of hard work and humility while at the same time trying to attain a level of greatness never thought of by someone from his island. DeLon made his musical debut at the young age of 12; but it wasn’t his lyrics people were listening to. DeLon began his love affair with Hip-Hop by first learning to dee-jay for local parties and clubs around his hometown of Pasadena, CA. A perfect match from the start; DeLon soon made a name for himself and word of his talent spread through to the hottest clubs in Hollywood. Dee-jaying gave DeLon the chance to study music and gain a stronger perspective of how people responded to certain beats and melodies.

Destined for something greater, at the age of 18, DeLon began writing and producing his own music and perfecting his skills on the microphone by regularly attending local competitions. Due to his engaging personality, performing and entertaining came as second nature. With the determination to experience a world more than what he was given, DeLon after his graduation from the University of Southern California with a degree in finance, decided to expand his horizons. Through lifetime travels to over 33 countries, DeLon collected knowledge, spiritually and worldly, and indulged himself into music from all over the world. Determined to bring light and positivity to worldly atrocities of famine, and racial and cultural injustices; DeLon aspires to be the leading voice in bringing unity and consciousness to the forefront through Hip-Hop music.

Utilizing his multi-cultural knowledge and identity, DeLon fuses eclectic cultural beats with Hip-Hop to create a unique style that cannot be sonically compared with any other rapper in the game. Those tracks combined with the ability to perform in English, Spanish and Sinhalese; DeLon produces a crossover appeal that makes him marketable to a wider fan base through genres and markets worldwide. Authentic, unique, diverse and entertaining; DeLon strives to achieve a level of international greatness and influence through his music at the same time keeping his roots grounded to his village upbringing.
