Lion D (David Andrew Ferri) was born in London to an Italian mother and a Nigerian father and raised in Italy, where he moved at a very early age.
After becoming fond of Bob Marley and Peter Tosh’s reggae music during his teenage years, he started writing his own songs in his early 20s.
He took his first steps on the italian reggae scene in 2007 and started touring all over the Country in the following years, charming different audiences with his fiery type of show and his unique voice and style of singing. According to the jamaican music tradition, Lion’s songs have always been faced reality with a positive and upful attitude, ranging from spirituality to social issues.
“Music’s always been my school and my teacher, it’s everything to me. Simple as that. All the reggae I’ve been listening to through all these years really raised me and helped me build myself musically, as I always wanted to listen carefully and absorb that type of vibe. And, by doing so, I managed to keep jamaican culture in tune with my African roots as well”. Since his early years, Lion D has released a huge multitude of singles, ep cd’s and 6 official studio albums: ‘The Burnin Melody’ (2009), ‘Reap What You Sow’ (2011), ‘Bring Back The Vibes’ (2013), ‘Heartical Soul’ (2015), ‘Mandala’ (2017), ‘All in This Together’ (2022)
