Byron Wesley was born February 1st, 1970 into a musical family. His mother was best friends with Tina Tuner and his father managed Ike and Tina in their early days. Byron's uncle is the famed trombonist, Fred Wesley of James Brown and the JB's. One of his earliest musical influences was his brother Kenny Johnson, aka DJ Special K (The Original) , who spun hip hop "back in the day" on KDAY radio in Los Angeles.

Byron learned how to play 5 instruments while attending Jr. High and High School and was a member of the orchestra, marching band and jazz band. In the 80's he briefly picked up spinning vinyl, but eventually his ear turned friendly to Punk Rock and he joined a band called the Potato Farmers From Hell. In the early 90's Byron turned off his amp and picked up an acoustic guitar and formed a coffee house folk duo called SoulFolk. In 1995 his roommate introduced him to her boyfriend; a person who would change the direction of Byron's musical ambitions, DJ Daniel Chavez. A co-founder of the world famous MoonTribe Collective, Daniel Chavez taught Byron the basics of dance music production. Since then he has produced over 300 songs in just about every genre, from folk, down tempo to techno and his music has been featured in film and television.

Beyond the obvious soul, funk and gospel influences from his past, the music of Byron Wesley, reflects his eclectic musical influences: The Dead Kennedy's, Run-DMC, Kraft Werk, The Art of Noise, Prince, Michael Jackson, The Orb, U2, The Smiths, Public Enemy, The Beastie Boys, Kate Bush, Orbital , Beat Meat Manifesto and The Police to name a few.
