About the Artist
A boisterous rising star with a bright falsetto and golden pen, Kyle Dion can’t stay put. After releasing his heartfelt ode to traditional R&B, SUGA, in 2019, he couldn’t help but expand his talents and set his eyes on creating a classic turn-up album in 2021, his sophomore project, SASSY. Dion reinvents himself in the next chapter of his career with SASSY Deluxe, showing off the fullness of his personality by throwing out any and all rulebooks. The proudly independent artist possesses a soul from another era and creates a sound refreshing to any generation. From the small community in Florida where he grew up to effervescent Los Angeles, where he’s worked with artists like Kehlani, Kali Uchis, PartyNextDoor, Channel Tres, Kari Faux, Duckwrth, UMI, Ja Rule, and Jessie Reyes, Dion is blazing a unique path. Dion has toured the globe with PartyNextDoor, Ella Mai, Xavier Omar, BJ The Chicago Kid, and more.
