I'd like to meet:
Variety began when Anthony (Tony) was brought to an audition by one of his friends to play the piano; this was nothing serious at first, just a gig for fun. Once Tony met up with the group he found out that one of the members of this group he knew from back in the school days which happen to be Louie Sierra. So it was all love from the beginning. Current to this date some of members who had audition for the group Variety became members but over time chose different careers therefore they are no longer with the group. In their hearts Tony and Louie knew that there was more to it (Variety) than what could be seen with the eyes, so they have kept going strong and likewise their friendship grew even tighter. Tony and Louie began putting together their first album on Louie’s computer with a cheap microphone and keyboard. When producing this first album now completed as RnB Smoove, there was a time and period due to some of the hardship both Tony and Louie were experiencing in their personal lives they had initially intended to name it Enjoy the Ride! This was being done with hopes of Keeping Their Passion Alive as they would soon see themselves as struggling growing artists in the entertainment world. Tony being born from a family with a Musical History with his grandfather being known as a World renowned Alto Saxophonist Jazz musician by name of Sonny Simmons, had passion that he knows he has only tapped into the surface of, and finds himself continually digging into the depths of his hearts to have it rise to the occasion. This passion extends from the loins of Sonny Simmons who has recorded numerous of albums since the 1960s to current times under labels such as Warner Brothers and many others. (See attached copy pg 1-9 of the interview with Sonny Simmons conducted by Clifford Allen with All about Jazz or one can find out his history just by typing in his name on the computer using Goggle). It is only natural that this talent would flow through the very veins of Sonnys grandson Tony Simmons, who plays the keyboard like his grandfather plays his Sax. Tony also mixes music on his own by recording his own sounds and produces them with other up and coming rising stars. Louie also comes from a history of musicians, with his grandfather playing Salsa Music. Once Louie graduated high school at Timberline High in Lacey WA., he chose to further his education by attending Bates Technology School. Bates was also located in Lacey WA, and Louie chose The Broadcast and Production field. He completed his education in 2005 and landed a job for Channel 2 News, located in Reno Nevada but as of now he is working for fox40 in Sacramento California! Both Tony and Louie as Variety have preformed Live in Concert as an opening show for Rapper Paper Boy known by his hit single Diddy. This performance was done this April 2006 for Channel 2 News station, and all have agreed that the entire Concert went off as a success. In 2003 Tony and Louie began working with Bill (Daman) Taylor who owned his own personal studio that was built in his house. The three had chemistry from the start and began working right away. Tony and Louie on the vocals, and writing the beats, with Bill on the engineering, completing the sound now on this Total Variety R n B Smoove compact disk. But in December 2004 tragedy would strike. Tony and Louie’s partner Bill Taylor was fatally killed in a car accident. Tony and Louie began to seek comfort from the Lord above. Bill meant a lot to Tony and Louie so it was a difficult time. But somehow Tony and Louie pulled together and continued to follow their dream. While continuing with life’s struggles, relationships and heartbreaks, music became the canvas in which life would be written on. Through it all Variety continues to press forward. They just finished up their first video, for the single "Nobody". They are currently open for a possible large recording label to take them under their wings. If you keep your ears to the plus of the modern music world one can be sure that within a heartbeat these guys will be knocking down doors to hearts very soon with the passion that flows from their inner man. Look for them; they will be there sooner than you think! click the picture below and check out there music and add them:)
