About DeLyzer

DeLyzer is an LA-based artist, producer, and writer, originally from Toronto, Canada, who has been creating and engaged in the music industry as a multi-tool man for more than a decade. He has written songs with Ken Lewis (Kanye West, One Republic, Lorde), Maggie Lindemann, Jenna Andrews (Lennon Stella, Noah Cyrus, Benee), Jackson Dimiglio-Wood (Shawn Mendes, Mario), Richard Craker (Liam Gallagher) and has produced alongside Greg Fidelmen (Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers), Neil Sanderson (Three Days Grace), and Shawn Crahan (Slip­knot). He has released tracks on Sony, Universal, Armada, Gemstone, and AWAL, and has music featured on Netflix, CTV’s The Launch, and The Voice. He has worked internationally in over a dozen countries including with Russian superstar Emin, JØRD from Brazil, and popular Dutch producers ESH and Julian Calor, but still loves to collaborate with fellow up-and-coming Canadians like Maggie Szabo, Lilianna Wilde and JP Maurice. As a producer, his aim is to pull genuine emo­tion out of an artist – a story – and capture the raw energy in the room. Though he’s produced everything including pop, rock, folk, R&B, and dance, he favours anything that can juxtapose professional polish with charismatic grit. With a BFA degree in poetry, his lyrical skills are sharp, and his deep roots as a skilled audio engineer allow him to be comfortable within every aspect of the creation process. When the global pandemic struck the music industry and studio sessions quickly became a thing of the past, DeLyzer relocated to the jungles of Tulum, Mexico, where he wrote and self-produced his debut EP as a solo artist. His new collection of songs are slathered in overdrive, fuzz distortion, and sexuality, drifting between blues riffs, 80s dream synths, and deep-pounding 808s; all the while tethering chromatic tendencies. Featuring fellow Canadian artist Lilianna Wilde, the first single “Pretty Girls” was inspired by a passage in Jack Kerouac’s book The Dharma Bums and is about the consequences of lust. With multiple single releases slated throughout 2021, concluding with a full album this May, DeLyzer’s debut is imminent. Like rain in the distance, you can see it coming.
