About Me

Christon "Christylez" Bacon is a native Washingtonian, more specifically, from the Southeast quadrant of the District of Columbia. Christylez has been furthering his many forms of artistic expression since the age of 13. As an emcee, he has featured at many venues in and outside of the DC arts scene including the National Youth Poetry Slam (San Francisco), Lincoln Theater, National Cathedral and now, the Strathmore Mansion. Christylez is also the subject of the Rosebud Film Festival award winning documentary, Blue Line: Destination Christylez, in 2005. As a musician, Christylez multi-tasks playing various instruments including the West-African Djembe drum, the guitar while simultaneously rhyming, and maintaining the syncopated oral percussions of the human beat-box. To see Christylez performing live is to see the unification of the world’s music incorporated with the elements of the Hip-Hop culture. Continuing the growth and development of his art, Christylez will perform at Strathmore during the month of March as part of Strathmore's Artist in Residence program.
