Tyrone was born in Delta State and spent his early life there before moving with his parents to Lagos.

He started his career in production as a student of Unilag where he joined a music group, Rock Solid, and was an active member with the likes of Nollywood actor, OC Ukeje and singer J’odie (Kuchi Kuchi) amongst other members- this same group which produced KUSH, one of Nigeria's R&B/contemporary bands at the time.

This track was nominated Lyricist on the Roll in The Headies 2013 and Music Video of the Year in the 2013 Nigerian Entertainment Awards (11).

He produced a number of radio programs including a whole season of ‘The Pepsi Chart Show’, in 2012 for Cecil Hammond which aired on major radio stations in Nigeria; ‘Nigeria Manifesto’: He produced this program working with Nicolas Okoye (CEO Anabel Group, former Dep Gen Manager, Nigerian Stock Exchange); ‘The Business’: a weekly magazine program.

In 2014, news sources reported that the beat for Olamide's biggest hit, Durosoke, was originally produced by Tyrone but he was not credited for co-production because the artist's frequent music collaborator, Pheelz allegedly re-modelled the beat and took full credit for the song production (7).
