I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THIS YOUNG MAN DO HIS THING IN 2010 DURING THE BREAK CONTEST IN POUGHKIPSEE NY, AND THEN AGAIN AT MEADOWLANDS STADIUM FOR THE BAMBOOZLE FESTIVAL, THIS YOUNG RISING STAR HAS HAD HIS SHARE OF ADVERSITY IN HIS YOUNG LIFE,AND IT SEEMS HE'S FUNNELED IT ALL INTO HIS MUSIC. THE TRACK I JUST LISTENED TO TITLED "JOHN LENNON" SHOWS THE LYRICAL SKILL AND FLOW WE ARE LOOKING FOR AND THIS WEEK WE LABEL TONY E HOT AND ONE TO WATCH IN THE 845!! Since the age of 9 years old Antonio Echandy, better known as "Tony E.", has been musically active. Being so young it was not until the age of 15 did his music become known to the public of his peers in Beacon, New York. In the year of 2009, Tony lost his mother in a tragic car accident but it never hindered his goals, It just gave him more inspiration and more drive to fulfill his dream. Tony remains like any other child with extraordinary goals and inspiration. "Music wise, Charles Hamilton, Kanye West, Passion Pit and all creative music inspires him. "Honestly Im just inspired at the idea of making music and doing something I love for a living, also the idea of people listening to me drives me even more." Following the release of his first mix tape, "The Incomplete Circle", The Tony E. Express was on track. His music became Wildly favored by the local youth and the parents of those youth as well. 6 months later he dropped yet another mix tape entitled "2525" that displayed his development in the last 6 months. The style of the this young lyricist is unlike most, putting together meaningful words with a flow that both excites and entices his audience. In December of 2011 Tony E. kicked open opportunities door entering The Break Contest live music competition at the Chance Theater in Poughkeepsie, New York. With a goal to win, Tony began selling tickets for his first show immediately, and with overwhelming support from his city, family and friends he had no problem packing the house to earn what he had worked so hard for. Although he aimed for 1st Tony fell short at 5th place, yet still earning him his overall goal of performing on the Bamboozle stage @ The Meadowlands Arena in New Jersey with some of music’s biggest names Like, Lil’ Wayne, A Day To Remember, Big Sean and many more. After his performance at The Bamboozle Festival Tony E. came back home to open up for Mac Miller the very next day at The Chance Theatre in Poughkeepsie NY. Tony went on to drop yet another mix tape entitled, "Just Another Mixtape". Locally the mix tape was a hit and everyone enjoyed how Tony could uniquely make every industry beat on the tape his own. After dropping his 3rd mix tape in just his senior year of high school, Tony attracted even more people to his fan base. Just 2 months later Tony dropped his first original project titled "Story Time". In this project Tony developed every song to have its own unique story behind it to show how diverse and creative he is. This project caught attention to many people and eventually Tony began even traveling to New York City to record in multi millionaire studios such as "Jungle City" and "The Engine Room". Tony then dropped his next mixtape entitled "Low Toleerance" where he demolished the most famous industry beats out like its suppose to be done to show the "Low Tolerance" he has for the music out today. Tony is set to drop his first OFFICIAL album Entitled "Echandy" on Feb 9th 2013 with all original beats and a unique style of music making. Tony and his team full young creative minds want to take his dream to the next level and show the world who Tony E. is. Working every day on music, videos, promoting, and even producing there is no doubt that Tony and his team are one of the most hungry unsigned talent out there.
