Tyrone Francis

New York-based DJ and producer.

Born in London, Tyrone and his family moved to Brooklyn, NY when he was eleven years old. At the age of sixteen, Tyrone experienced his first “Paradise Garage” party and instantly, Larry Levan became a major influence in his life. However, it was DJ David Camacho who would become Tyrone’s mentor, as he went from carrying Camacho’s record crates, to eventually opening up for him. While dee-jaying at all the big NYC parties, Tyrone also worked at “Dance Tracks” and “Satellite Records”.

Tyrone has played many of NYC’s clubs and parties, such as “Wildpitch”, “Club Space”, “Mars” and “Nell’s”. Tyrone was one of the resident DJs for the “Behind Club Doors” party. From 2001 to 2004, Tyrone would be the resident DJ for the Wednesday night “BKNY/667” party. He was also a rotating resident guest DJ for Jellybean Benitez’s “Ain’t Nuthin’ But A House Party”. Tyrone has made frequent guest appearances at “Club Shelter” and “Body & Soul Party”.

Currently, label owner & co-founder of “blak-n-yello Inc."
