Tyrone Joseph Edmonds or as others may know him as "burna" was born on february 9th 1987 in Toronto, Ontario Canada. At a young age moving from the plague environment of Toronto to the suburbs of Barrie, Ontario Tyrone grew up different from how many young kids grew up. With influences of his mother and father to guide his creative personality they would suddenly experience the growth of a star or it would seem. At age 6 Burna lost his father to a fatal heart attack crushing not only his family but a long friendship with his friend and father. Growing up in a secluded environment Burna was forced to take built up emotions and express them in different ways. Always being a fan of all genres of music Burna drew closer to the passion of drums, uptempo sounds, and lyrical input of hip hop music and slowly took the format of hip hop and turned it into a formula. His formula was born at the tender age of 14 freestyling on ball courts and at school. Burna soon realised this was his gift. Throughout Burna's life there has been many influencial artist's that have lyrically shaped the style and essence of what Burna's music possesses. These artist include Rakim, Big L, Mase, and Nas. So many words describe Burna but the best fit he often repeats is "A masterpiece in disguise". After 5 years of working on his penmenship and gathering the best collective producers around the world Burna is ready to drop his debut double single " Unstoppable (Prod.by Jazzfeezy & T-Minus) and Climbin Up (Prod.by Bassline)" off his first mixtape "No Introduction Vol.1" which is scheduled to be released the middle of august 2010. With all the right pieces under Burna's belt the sky is the limit for this young up and coming talent.
