Lyrical Lizard, a name heard buzzing through the Midwest. Jon Guthrie aka Lizard to most, was born in Gary, Indiana home of mega superstar Michael Jackson. He also graduated from the same High School as R&B sensation Jesse Powell. Growing up, Lizard was destined to entertain the world with his multiple talents.
At the age of 7, he was already performing for audiences in church and school talent shows, just as the Jackson family did in the early 70s. Lyrical Lizard was a natural when it came to music and at the age of 12 he saved up enough money to buy his first set of Technic 1200 turntables.
As a DJ, he swarmed the early and mid-eighties scene doing local house parties and entering contests such as Battle of the DJs in East Chicago, IN. Lizard learned the tricks of the trade from then newcomer Bad Boy Bill from the Chicago radio station WGCI, Julian Jumpin' Perez, and a local DJ from the group Los Marijuanos, Ponyboy. Lizard picked up mixing and scratching with ease, but knew deep down inside that he wanted to do more than spin records.
As the rap scene began growing quickly, Lizard began writing rhymes and performing at house and rap parties. As 1989 rolled around, he was impressed by a new rapper on the scene named Slick Rick. As the 90s rolled around, Dr. Dre's "THE CHRONIC" album began tearing up the airwaves and rap was taking on a darker side. That didnt stop Lyrical Lizard from sticking to his love for Story Telling Rap. Living in Gary and seeing all the struggles of street life wasnt easy. His comedic rhymes were simply a way of escaping all the drama that surrounded him. Listening to his music, you can get a feel for the streets, but in a unique style of hip hop.
Still old school at heart, the millenium was about to hit and Lizard still hadnt crawled out from under his rock. As the years passed, he wondered if success would ever come to him. With the ups and downs of the streets, there were a few doubts that he would ever see his dream come true.
Determined to get away from all the drama, he put in all behind him and in 2000, started dropping singles in the studio. "Where I am from, its kinda hard to record when you are to the curb" he said, but that wasnt going to stop him from achieving his lifelong dream. "Age aint nothing but a number and as long as it is still in my heart, I am determined to do this."
As of 2001, Lyrical Lizard has dropped such singles as "Gat Rappin," a song about dealing with life's struggles in Gary, IN; "Luney Tunez," a comedic cartoon rap, and his latest single, "Caught Up", a rhyme about doing some time. At the present time, he is hard at working finishing up songs for his second independent release entitled "Lizard Of Oz" looking to complete by fall of 2006.
