Born July 2nd in Guelph, Ontario, Canada a.k.a. The Royal City.  Addiction to music from a young age would lead to a love of dance, choir, stage musicals and acoustic guitar.  Like most kids growing up in the 80's and 90's music was in an explosion phase with seemingly new genres every year.  An early love of Folk and Pop lead to a Rap and Punk music phase but Red Lion always appreciated a good rhythm, solid bass and a story in his music. 

Started spinning Jungle records in 1998 as a then student of DJ's King Pin, Leroy Brown and Quartz who later, along with Red Lion, formed the Royal City Jungle Alliance or ROCJA.  Also in 1998, he began working (alongside some close friends) for Toronto's Lifeforce Industries. Aiding in the promotion and production of such legendary Toronto events as Connected, Freakin', Bittersweet, W.E.M.F. Lifeforce Fridays, Turbo Fridays, I-Dance and of course the Dose and Syrous Anniversary parties. 

Over the years Red Lion has opened for legends of the scene such as Andy C, DJ Hype, Doc Scott, Aphrodite, Ed Rush & Optical & Jumping Jack Frost to name a few.  A regular at the World Electronic Music Festival (WEMF) since 1999 as well as the infamous Harvest Festival in Ontario at the end of each summer.  

Displaced from Ontario's GTA in 2020 during the pandemic Red Lion now finds himself living in Squamish British Columbia.  Jungle, Drum and Bass is a true passion that has blossomed over the last few decades of his life and he looks forward to being involved in any capacity as the music and the movement in Canada continues to grow.

Shouts out to the Lifeforce Family, Harvest Festival Community, Syrous & Renegade's Crew, Dose Productions, Promise, Highgrade, alienInFlux, Destiny, Junglist Movement and Numba 3 Crews. Thanks for all the continued support over the years!
