Kenshin Iryo more known as Million Stylez was born june first 1981 in Stockholm, Sweden. He grew up in a working class part of town called Sollentuna. He was raised by a French mother and a Japanese father but had friends from all over the world due to the very immigrant-dense neighborhood. He started experimenting with Hip Hop at the young age of nine, recording rap tunes in swedish on his cassette deck player. After a couple of years he started to write lyrics in English but it was not until he turned 18 that he moved on to dancehall and reggae. It was only a natural step for him due to the fact that reggae always been there as he was growing up. He is one out of few out there that can master so many different styles such as singing, deejaying and rapping. He was self-taught and never had any schooling but he still doesn´t see any musical boundaries.

Just to mention a couple of artists that he has worked with over the years there are big stars like Beyoncé, Gentleman, Peetah Morgan (Morgan Heritage), Don Carlos , Loon (Bad Boy), Smif N Wessun, Mr Vegas, Busy Signal, Bunji Garlin and the list goes on and on. In the beginning of his career he also got to be opening act for Sean Paul, Beenie Man, Elephant Man, Ne-Yo, Fabolous, Ryan Leslie among others.

In March 2006, he released his breakthrough smash hit “Miss Fatty” which was distributed by German distributor SOUNDQUAKE (largest online vinyl retailer at the time) and was their number one selling song for weeks.

Million Stylez has now been performing in every continent independently and the touring continues frequently. With over 6 projects under his belt, he is constantly working on new material and musical releases. What more is there to say? Million has a million things going on.
