Roni Iron was born in 1981 in Athens. He embarqued on his musical journey in 1992 experimenting with vinyls & synth's sounds.

Performed by the smooth soul jazz voice of Maya (Universal Music), with Lusty Apricot aka Haralampos Paritsis in Violin, “Eyes of the Sea” is a perfect mixture of lounge and soulful vibes inspired by the rough sea of Santorini island and reflects the roughness a female brings to a man’s soul.
