出生于1988年1月18日的倫敦音樂(lè)人Ironik，13歲時(shí)就出道在London地區(qū)的Club和Bars當(dāng)DJ，20歲的時(shí)簽約了Atlantic/Warner唱片公司，他的音樂(lè)融合了R&b，Grime和hip-hop. 2007的夏天，他發(fā)行了第一支單曲“So Nice”，獲得不錯(cuò)的反響。而他在08年6月30發(fā)行的新單Stay With Me則成為一支真正的大熱單曲，該單曲一經(jīng)發(fā)行就躥升至歌曲下載榜第十一位 Undoubtedly the first and probably the last hip-hop artist to sample Westlife, the multi-talented Ironik is one of the rising talents of the U.K.'s urban music scene. Born Michael Laurence in 1988, Ironik started DJing at the age of 13 at his uncle Steve Gordon's TwiceasNice parties and later earned a support slot on So Solid Crew's U.K. tour. At 16 he was producing for various artists, and at 20 he signed to the Asylum label, an offshoot of Atlantic/Warner Bros., under the moniker Ironik. Building up a loyal Internet following, he was voted the number one unsigned artist on MySpace for three months and his first single, "So Nice," became a staple on the urban music Channel U. But it was his second release, "Stay with Me," that became his breakthrough hit, charting at number five in the U.K. Written about his fears for his ten-year-old sister growing up in a society rife with knife crime and violence, it bizarrely sampled "Written in the Stars," a track from Westlife's Unbreakable, Vol. 1: The Greatest Hits album. Inspired by U.K. grime artists Wiley and Dizzee Rascal, and U.S. hip-hop stars Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco, his debut album, No Point in Wasting Tears, was scheduled for release in 2008. Ironik also has his own radio show on Xtreme FM and is set to launch his own label, Venemous Records.
