the Baltimore area. Having a passion for people and getting them up and
dancing has always been his specialty. In 1999 Tony moved to the York
area but continued playing Baltimore clubs for the next 4 years.

found a way to stay connected and involved by volunteering his services
at the Southern York YMCA's Skating Rink on Friday nights. Tony has also
found his calling at a well known place of worship in York as an audio/
video technician. His father always told him "Once you find your passion
in life, it's all you'll ever need"! Tony's passion for music and people
brought him back to DJ'ing again and he has been enjoying it ever since.
Tony brings many incredible talents to every event. He has a
smooth and polished emcee style, a pleasant and powerful voice, and an
ability to get people moving and dancing and keep them on the floor!

of function. “The best part about being a DJ,” he tells us, “is seeing
everyone having a great time and knowing you are a part of it.” Tony is
