Byron Stingily

Byron Stingily is an African American R&B and house music singer born in Chicago, Illinois.

Career

Byron had several hits in the eighties through the mid nineties as the lead singer of house music group Ten City. As a solo artist, he has had his biggest success on the Hot Dance Club Play chart, where he has hit #1 three times. In 1997 he spent a week in the top spot with "Get Up (Everybody)", produced by Zack Toms and Paul Simpson, then hit #1 again in 1998 with a remake of Sylvester's classic Hi-NRG song "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)", produced by Damien Mendis and Stuart Bradbury.

"That's the Way Love Is", a #1 dance hit in 1989 for Ten City, brought him to #1 again in 1999 when he re-recorded it on his own. Many Ten City fans strongly disliked the darker, more abrasive version that hit in 1999. So, after a short hiatus, he returned to the warmer, funkier, soulful house music sound that made Ten City such a success and a favorite since. Some of his recent singles have been released on the UK based record label, Defected Records among others.
