Not your average master of ceremony or MC, Tona, armed with an in depth understanding of the power and the complexity of words, and a love of Hip hop, has developed his own creative niche through aboriginal and versatile demonstrations in an era where the true art of Hip hop seems to have been lost. His release entitled “We Do” was a song that earned him his first Stylus award for “Best Rap Video” in 2012. In 2014, Tona’s catalogue included being placed on the Polaris Music Prize Long List for his politically conscious driven album with “The Freedom Writers.” Recently Tona was the recipient of a JUNO Award for “Best Rap Recording” in 2015, and was also a winner of the Sirius XM Radio Indies award for “Best Rap Group of the year” both as part of the collective “Naturally Born Strangers.”
