Career
[edit]In the late 1990s, Davis was a founding member of the South Central, Los Angeles-based R&B vocal trio RPM 2000. The group was signed by industry executive Michael Concepcion to his Grand Jury Entertainment imprint, which had a distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records.[1] For the group's debut album, Peace in the City (2000),[2] Davis worked with producers such as Babyface, Teddy Riley, and Chris Stokes.
Following his work with RPM 2000, Davis began a solo career. He was the lead vocalist and writer for the hook on the Capone-N-Noreaga track "Beef"[3] from their album Channel 10, the song a collaboration with producer Streetrunner, in an AllHipHop album review the song was described as, "phoned in with a barrage of uninspired tough talk".[4]
Adopting the moniker Avion the One, he collaborated with West Coast artist Spitfiya on the tracks "War",[5] and "Been Through".[6] His solo work evolved into the full-band project Avion & The Dirty Touch, which released the EP Planets Beyond Mars in 2012. Included on the E.P. is the song "Foolish Dreamers (Bonus Track)" which features violinist Rachel Grace, and Liz Suwandi. He later adopted the name Prion Haiyle, releasing the album Enter the Polymath. The album was first released in collaboration with the boutique label TMG (The Music Group). Davis later re-released the album under the King Itro moniker with two new songs.
Davis currently records and performs as King Itro. His 2024 solo album, So, I wrote you a mixtape., was reviewed by the music blog Sinusoidal Music.[7]
In addition to his solo work, he is a founding member of the experimental duo The Wyrdlings. The group's releases have been covered by music publications. Their 2022 single "Dormammu" was featured on the blogs Peaches N Pop[8] and Caesar Live N Loud.[9] The group's 2023 album Chameleon Paradox was reviewed by the Spanish blog Rock Hecho en Casa, which described its sound as eclectic and genre-bending.[10]
