Conversations with Tonio Armani

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tonio Armani.

Hi Tonio, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I actually started out as a rapper. It was cool and all but the stuff that they had to deal with behind the scenes, stuff they have to deal with being a rapper, as I grew older, I started to realize the rapper image is not what I wanted to represent for my brand and for my family. So therefore, I went from being a rapper to doing R&B and Blues which is a better fit for me. I would say it’s a journey learning the business and maturing. I saw that I was touching people with my words but when I started singing, I started singing and touching people with my voice and when I saw the impact of singing and writing the records, I put more energy into making those and it’s leading me to where I’m at today

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
One of the hardest things about this business is staying positive. Staying positive and appreciating the small wins. What I mean by that is being strategic about what I’m planning to do. When I see that come to life, it’s very rewarding. When I reach my goals, I feel like I achieved something in life.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m always working on new music. My two most notable projects are currently, “Free At Last” and “All Night Long”, which are going viral on multiple social media platforms as we speak. It’s the same vibe between old school and new school. I think all the best music was inspired by music from an earlier time and a lot of it I’m just learning as I do my research. But I want to give the people of my generation what they had back in the day with a little feel of today’s sound. That’s my secret weapon, mixing the old with the new.

What was your favorite childhood memory?
I can remember being at home in the backyard with the ones I love. My father used to play songs for the family on Sundays. Blues was the only genre we were allowed here on Sunday (Lol) and I just want to bring back those feelings again. It’s that vibe you know, it’s that feeling of being with family and enjoying the time together. It’s the great memories for me so, I hope that this does the same thing for my fans.
