Richard Glenmor Beynon, professionally known by his stage name BYNON,[1] is a British-Canadian music producer and DJ.
Early life
The clarinet prodigy turned DJ/Producer/Songwriter comes from a family of musicians hailing from South Wales (U.K.) but was raised in Vancouver, British Columbia. Educated at the Langley Fine Arts School, Juilliard School ,and McGill University, Montreal, he was inspired to play guitar, bass, keyboards, piano and drums before becoming a top clarinet player. Performing with the Surrey Youth Orchestra, the Vancouver Summer Pops Youth Orchestra and winning gold at the Kiwanis International Fraser Valley Music Festival. Collaborating with his father, BYNON arranged and produced three very successful albums featuring many genres of music including classical, jazz and pop and his vast knowledge and brilliant, natural creativity has enabled him to pursue music production by merging classical jazz and orchestral music with today's electronic revolution.[2]
Musical career
A seasoned performer, BYNON toured heavily around North America, with multiple dates in Europe & Asia, highlights include, Paradiso Festival at the Gorge in Seattle, a four year residency in the Las Vegas circuit featuring Legendary Pool Party REHAB and SLS, and most recently in 2018 at Ile Sonqiue, in his new found hometown; Montreal.
With his freshman releases alongside Dannic, Project 46 & Feenixpawl, his name popped up monthly all over the Beatport top 10 charts, (Golden Hearts, Eyes, Home) on Revealed, Ultra Records, & Atlantic, throughout 2014.
At the end of 2015 BYNON's massive rework Ganja Man featuring Sean Paul went Viral on Youtube accumulating over 23 Million Views.
In early 2016, BYNON decided to focus primarily on songwriting & production, working with the likes of Sean Paul, Kaskade, Ilsey, Taryn Manning, Mako, Jane XØ and many more. He has been involved with major projects at Columbia, Atlantic, Sony, & Warner Music.
That same year, Corey Hart personally commissioned him to co-write and produce Jonathan Roy's Hit Sophmore Album "Mr. Optimist Blues" which included the Certified Gold Record Smash "Daniella Denmark"
