Musician/rapper turned singer/songwriter, TonyAs is DJ Fury’s One To Watch In 2011. Formerly known as the Saint TonyAs, he has taken it one step further opting to strip it bare, go back to basics, whereas theSaint was a straight talking hiphop artist, TonyAs the musician has embraced other influences and as well as rapping also sings, adding another dimension to his works.
As a musician the style is charismatic, easy listening emotional type music, in his own words ‘he wants people listening to be able to feel what he’s saying to empathise, whether having experienced it or witnessed the content of his verses’. Sound wise it’s fundamentally hip hop though his evolution as an artist has lead to incorporations of reggae, soul, funk and other such genres. Lyrics are still his forte if you like, and he prides himself on being a vivid and lyricist.
2011 promises to be an interesting year as his SexDrugsPoetry brand grows from strength to strength, there’s the music, the ‘Y Is It’ articles and videos that TonyAs himself produces. 2011 will see also the release of his ‘introducing TonyAs’ mixtape. Singles to look out for ‘Back Into My Groove’, ‘Real Money’ and ‘Luving It’. Definitely One To Watch!!!
