LiYON began his career as a full-time songwriter and producer in 2010, making music for films, ads and other artists. After years behind the scenes in Toronto and Los Angeles, and winning a Gemini award along the way, he returned to his hometown of Montreal. That’s when he started making vintage pop music as LiYON, as a way to release what had been building up in his heart and soul.
His catchy melodies and hazy tone will send you off into a dream world where your only worry is to wake up. Moody “Starstruck” is an 80s influenced track with a technicolor landscape that will linger in your head. It’s about an overwhelming feeling of lust and love; feeling trapped within someone’s grasp, almost hypnotized by an attraction so perfect at that exact moment in time. “Starstruck” is accompanied by a gritty and dreamy video with guns, drugs and decadence afoot – a cinematic metaphor.
