Byron Bank was born on July 15th, he's known as a Houston recording artist and producer. He started his career at a young age by using several instruments without any previous musical lessons. Byron then began to entertain his peers from rapping on the school bus, to participating in school talent shows, to joining in his high school band. Later, he picked up a trumpet and later moved on to becoming lead drummer of the drumline. As his love for music grew, Byron's grandmother purchased his first keyboard and from there the journey began.

"Never Runaway", became the first debuted song off his freshman album. In July 2010, with a successful response to his January 2010 released mixtape, "Catch Me If You Can", Bank drops yet another mixtape, "Why Did I Get Married Too (The Game)". Still at this very day, some may argue that "Why Did I Get Married Too (The Game)", should've been an album. In November 2010, Bank replies by announcing the release of his sophomore album, "Passion Has A Price". In April 2011 Bank, along side with Kasino Brown, drops the promotional project, "Byron Bank, No S", due to the anticipation of this sophomore album, which is now complete and scheduled to drop June 2011.
