[edit] Career

Byron had several hits in the eighties through the mid nineties as the lead singer of house music group Ten City. As a solo artist, he has had his biggest success on the Hot Dance Club Play chart, where he has hit #1 three times. In 1997 he spent a week in the top spot with "Get Up (Everybody)", produced by Zack Toms and Paul Simpson, then hit #1 again in 1998 with a remake of Sylvester's classic Hi-NRG song "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)", produced by Damien Mendis and Stuart Bradbury.

"That's the Way Love Is", a #1 dance hit in 1989 for Ten City, brought him to #1 again in 1999 when he re-recorded it on his own. Many Ten City fans strongly disliked the darker, more abrasive version that hit in 1999. So, after a short hiatus, he returned to the warmer, funkier, soulful house music sound that made Ten City such a success and a favorite since. Some of his recent singles have been released on the UK based record label, Defected Records among others.
