Born and raised in Phoenix, TONY has been an R &amp; B fan since
 childhood. He has also fronted and managed many bands in
 the Phoenix-metro area for the past 30 years and is the
 founding father of the long-time Phoenix band “SMILEY”.
 Publishing, Tony submitted his tune “It Really Doesn’t Matter”
 to Tower Of Power and was included on their &quot;Rhythm &amp;
 Business&quot; CD!! Tony’s ultimate desire, when not thinking of
 music entertainment, is to perform stand-up comedy!! He
 always has a joke or a funny story to brighten your mood. An
 important past-time for Tony is to listen to and study music.
 Taking this focus one step higher, Tony was a disc jockey for
 three years in the late-90’s at radio station KMJK – “Majik
106.9” under the name of “Noni Cruz - Solid Gold Sunday” After the station was sold, he went
 to Mega 99.3 to continue the show. He hopes to get another radio show soon to share his love
 for the music.
