Theme

Tony Williams constructed this tape as his debut mainstream project and used this as an opportunity to introduce the world to an artist who he discovered, Dakota Grey.[6] This project was a collection of original music, covers, and remixes. Tony tapped into a wide range of styles, from his signature soulful ballads and club bangers to a Brazilian hit where he sang on a hook in Portuguese.[7] He experienced some musical chart success in France with the remix of Dreamin' Of Your Love.
