Since emerging onto the Houston hip hop scene in the early 2010s, award-winning rapper Byron Bank has been steadily growing in popularity and influence. Blending intricate musicianship, authentic storytelling, and business savvy, he has established himself as one of his hometown's premier figures. Now, with the release of his most innovative music to date, he is set to reach a larger audience than ever before.
After spending years honing his craft in the Houston underground, Byron made his official debut with the 2013 full length "The Withdrawal." Bridging the gap between new and old school, the LP introduced the ambitious sound that would come to define his career.
Byron goes on to drop a series of increasingly well-received releases, earning local press and radio support. In 2015, he took a significant step forward on his breakout album "Change," which caught the industry's attention and led to a sequel featured mixtape "Byron Bank No S 2" in 2016. Additionally, this led him to open up for reputable artists like Slim Thug, Paul Wall, Mike Jones, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Nevertheless, in 2017, Byron released the album "Current Situations," expressing his worldly views and perspectives to a new height.
2019 saw the release of Byron's finest work yet, "Drank & Bottled Up Emotions." In addition to earning him The Akademia Music Award for Best Hip Hop/Rap album, it cemented his status as one of the top young artists in the industry and landing him the Artist Vision Award in 2020. Since then, he has been on a creative hot streak, forming his label, "Breakin' Bank Records, LLC," and using his influence to support the next generation of artists. On top of all this, Byron is working on his next album, "Change II: A Dreamer's Reality," which anticipated release holds firm to be in 2021.
Having proved himself an artist with rare staying power, Byron is now out to build a global audience. He has begun to expand into both entrepreneurship and film, showing that his talents are in no way confined to music. There is no telling how much he might accomplish with his intense drive to succeed and impeccable artistry.
