DeLon Jayasingha grew up in Los Angeles, California, born to parents from the Island of Sri Lanka. DeLon’s start in music began at the age of 12 and he began writing and producing music at the age of 16. DeLon’s inspiration for making music is born out of his dream to bring a new paradigm to rap music, his musical purpose to bring unity amongst people and to educate them through his lyrics. “Rap music is such a powerful tool and, if used to educate, can help change the world.” His style is unique and cannot be sonically compared with any rapper in the game. Unlike many rappers before him, DeLon has traveled to over 33 countries, collecting music and knowledge along the way to create, unique eclectic sounds. His debut album, The Connection, fuses hip-hop with salsa, soca, traditional Sri Lankan music, traditional Indian music, with sounds from Asia and Africa. The album is one of a kind with lyrics in English, Spanish, and Sinhalese. The Connection is meant to share and tell the story of the familial connection between Indians, Sri Lankans, and Africans, and to connect all the cultures of the world together, fusing each country’s respective indigenous sounds with hip-hop. Subjects that are heavily touched on include the relative ideas of world poverty. “Life in America, even in the poorest of neighborhoods, can not even compare to the way a beggar in South India lives.” Another mission of this album is to open up a new perspective within the rap genre.
