Picture Peter Pan sporting a shaved head in a pair of sneakers dropping bookworm bravado. You have Defron. Nostalgic of simpler days when life was just wearing-out your favourite cartoon on VHS, this 26 year-old Melbourne emcee combines confessional song-writing with abstract braggadocio to provide hip-hop that same release from the mundane.

Today Defron teaches English, creative writing, debating & poetry, as well as running the hip-hop & electronica department at Victorian non-profit youth music organisation The Push. He is currently independently running hip-hop workshops & demonstrations at schools, youth-services and universities as well as working on two new music projects, one with his band Kilamari and the other his second solo effort, “Maybe You’ll Be Famous When You’re Dead” all originally produced by friend and close collaborator Calvin Irons.
