About Me

Hey Guys!! I am Tony Grend.
I was born in NYC, but lived around the world. My crazy life experiences and outgoing personality makes my life pretty unique. I enjoy working on cool and edgy songs. Pretty much a mix of Rock/Funk/Soul.
Music has always been my escape.
New York has given me the opportunity to work and meet great people in music.
I am grateful every single day of my life, because it's one more day I get to sing. Things were very tough at a couple points of my life, but those moments are what inspire me to sing today. Every note I sing is an emotion I felt at some point of my life and as much as they hurt in the past or hurt in the present, they are the scars I will carry for the rest of my life and without them I would be someone else.
I can't sing about things I do not feel, because to me, singing is letting go of all my walls and bringing people into my life, which might not always be picture perfect, but will be real. You only get one life and I am going to live it!!
To those who come to my page:
THANK YOU guys for supporting me, but more for just letting me be me. If I could change one thing about my life, I wouldn't. My life is pretty bizarre and honestly.............. I wouldn't want it any other way!!
Thank you again guys!!
Tony D. Grend
