Craig Lyons

Craig Lyons is a distinct and passionate singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. Having released three self-recorded, self-produced solo albums during a period of artistic solitude on the shores of his native Lake Erie, Craig has exploded into LA's independent music scene with the release of his fourth album, 'On Reflection'.



Quickly recognizing the talent of this new artist, Craig’s music has been licensed by Universal Music, Fox and MTV, and heard on shows such as 'So You Think You Can Dance' and 'The Real World'. Craig has been nominated for the LA Music Awards 2 consecutive years and swept 08's Star Music Awards, taking home top honors 'Artist of the Year' and 'Singer/Songwriter of the Year'. Craig has appeared in Music Connection Magazine and can be heard on FM radio (including ClearChannel), independent radio (including WOXY), and college radio (including 92WICB, MTV-U best station '08).



Craig is personally and professionally committed to environmental responsibility. In addition to donating a portion of all earnings to Global Green, Craig constantly tours virtually, reaching his worldwide fanbase with fuel-free video broadcast shows. Craig is also featured on the ambitious charity 'Feed333' album, has organized his own benefit performances for Shriner's Hospital pediatric burn victims, volunteers as a mentor for musically gifted special-needs children, and has raised thousands of dollars for disaster relief and disease research.



In the spring of 2010, a revolutionary CGI-animated music video will be released for Craig's arrangement of Lennon's 'Across The Universe'. It features an international cast & crew of fans that filmed, realtime, in the virtual world of SecondLife. The story illuminates the importance of environmental consciousness while the medium demonstrates a low-impact alternative method of filming.



Craig's first collaborative effort, 'On Reflection', features his dedicated band, a live Hollywood string orchestra, Grammy-winning mixer Rob Hoffman (Christina Aguilera, Michael Jackson), and multi-platinum mastering engineer Patricia Sullivan Fourstar (Paul McCartney, U2). With FOX TV airtime in the week of its launch, this work represents Craig's finest work to date and is thrusting him into the next tier of his already flourishing career.
