Hyro Da Hero (born Hyron Fenton, July 18, 1987), also known as Hyro, is an American rapper from Houston, TX, currently residing in Los Angeles, CA.
Hyro moved to Los Angeles in November 2007, and shortly afterward released his first mixtape, Gangsta Rock, on Christmas Eve 2007 via iLike. His second mix tape, Rock & Roll Gangsta, released August 8, 2008, was dedicated to the memory of Ryan Halligan, who committed suicide after enduring years of bullying. His third mix tape, Belo Horizonte, named for a city in Brazil and released on Christmas Eve 2009, contained his first track with no samples, Dirty South Rock.
Hyro recorded his debut album Birth, School, Work, Death which includes tracks produced by Ross Robinson featuring Paul Hinojos (at the drive-in. the mars volta. sparta) on bass, Daniel Anderson (Idiot Pilot, Glowbug) on guitar, and The Blood Brothers (band) alumni Cody Votolato also on guitar, and Mark Gajadhar on drums. Birth, School, Work, Death was released in the UK and Ireland on April 4, 2011, with worldwide release following later in the year.
Hyro embarked on his first tour with a full band in the UK and Ireland in April 2012, with Welsh post-hardcore band The Blackout. Hyro also appeared on their single Higher & Higher from their album Hope.
In June, Hyro performed at Download Festival at Donington Park in England. After watching his Friday performance, the festival's promoter, Andy Copping, added Hyro to the 2nd stage on Sunday the 12th. Hyro also played on the Jagermeister Acoustic stage with his DJ and drummer, making him the first and only artist in the history of Download Festival to perform on 3 separate stages in the same year. On the Saturday in between his Friday and Sunday performances, Hyro performed with Wu-Tang Clan in London and then again Edinburgh, Scotland the following Monday.
