About the Artist

Chris (Ty-Ro) Lee, born November 2, 1986, grew up in Columbus, Ohio and was introduced to the music industry at an early age. His father and sister were both in the music business and it was apparent early on that it would be no different for Chris. Chris knew how to perform and move a crowd despite his young age. His first performance was at age 4 at a talent show for Fox 28. After many other performances, Chris soon after got involved with CAPACITY. Capacity, which helped launch the career of nationally known recording group “Fatty Koo”, is a youth arts program that celebrates urban neighborhoods while guiding youth as they discover and expand their artistic talents. Young people, ages 12-19, work with renowned artists and arts administrators to develop a wide variety of arts and related skills. All of these experiences, and many more, have contributed to all that Chris knows about the music business today. After 6 years of making hip hop music, Chris has soaked in the knowledge of some of the best artists in the industry. As a result, he has performed in over 82 shows over the last 4 years. Now at the age of 21, Chris has completed his first mainstream project entitled "My Mission Mixtape Vol.1" The mixtape is hosted by The Legendary Mix Master Ice from U.T.F.O. The mixtape will be in stores in the Columbus Ohio area April 4 2008. Also available online April 28 2008.
