Hyro The Hero Is Living His Life On The Rockstar Disrupt Tour

Hyro The Hero, an artist from Houston, Texas and Los Angeles, California fuses the beloved genres of rock, hip-hop, hardcore, and metal to make his own. Since June 21, Hyro’s been kicking off the Rockstar Energy Disrupt Festival with high energy and crowd moving performances. Along with this, he’s been befriending other fan favorites like The Used and Sleeping With Sirens. In fact, you might even catch him later in the day crowd surfing to The Used. I was able to catch Hyro's performance during the Syracuse stop of the Disrupt Festival. Though a slow start to the day, Hyro was able to pump up the fans and get them ready for the day ahead.
