A 29 year old New York native from Shaolin's, Parkhill Projects. Tonka started rhymin with his cousin (Dennis R.I.P.) when he was about 13 years old and fell in love with it. He started working with producers, writing songs and co producing tracks at a very young age, and as he got older he started taking music more serious. Always curious in learning different aspects of music he got his own equipment and started making beats with his long time friend Jah Star. Tonka has produced tracks for local hip hop artists in Shaolin such as S.I.C., Vandalize, Desert Eagle and more. He has since moved to N.J. but still calls Shaolin home. You can always catch him saying (I'll always be a New Yorker). Tonka has been dealing with music for about 15 years, and since moving he has recreated his style by learning how to play live instruments, he mixes rock and bass guitars with pounding hip hop drums and street influenced lyrics into a style he calls Street Metal. Not afraid to play his guitar clean or distorted, capturing a diverse audience. For Tonka, making music is more than just writing songs, it's about bringing all types of people together to enjoy the same thing. He does'nt cater to just one crowd, his fans come from all walks of life. Being very open minded musically is what keeps him different, where as most people listen to whatever type of music they do, Tonka listens to everything from the softest classical music, to the heaviest metal.
