Introduced to the Fruity Loops software from observing 9th Wonder, Tony began at his attempts to make beats.

Sen, DJ Nix'On, Robust, Termanology, Respect Tha God, IDE, Alucard, King Magnetic, Tame One amongst many more. The arrival of 2011 brought Ugly Tony to the preparation of a release for his first album. All the hard will finally pay off, but he knows that this is only the beginning.
