Summary:

Percy Cardona can be best described as an individual who loves do it all. This musician/songwriter not only plays diverse genres, he plays multiple instruments as well. Although that may no longer be a rarity in this music era, his endeavor for perfection has enabled him to catapult past mediocrity. His "do-it-all" mentality doesn't stop there. His talents extend to producing, arranging, and audio engineering. His playful personality stays in-tact despite the continual juggling of occupations. After many successful years as a freelance musician, Percy Cardona is finally ready to test the waters as a solo artist.
