Tony Anthony Sings About Love
Tony Anthony who recently scored his first number hit in Jamaica with his hit single called ‘Torn’, is expecting even greater success from ‘Blessed Love’, as music lovers are already showing great interest in the song which is currently enjoying heavy rotation in Canada.
Tony Anthony’s songs are noted for their storied verses and catchy choruses. ‘Bad News’ the second song released from his debut album ‘Million Chance’ has hit a chord with the man on the street as there’s always a sing-along to the chorus each time this song is played on the radio, clubs or when the video is seen on television.
‘Bad News’ has already reached number one status in Canada, it is presently number 13 on the Richie B’ JMC top 25 reggae music chart in Jamaica, number 14 on the New York top 30 reggae singles chart. It also debuted at number 20 on the Caribbean top 30 music charts in the Virgin Island a few weeks ago.
Tony Anthony’s 2010 debut album ‘Million Chance’ continues to do well and is still topping reggae charts all over. ‘Million Chance’ topped the Canadian and Richie B’ JMC top ten reggae album chart in 2010 and currently sits at number 3 on the South Florida top 15 reggae album chart and number 4 on the New York top 20 album charts.
Fans here in Jamaica will certainly hear a lot more from Tony Anthony in 2011 and will definitely get to see him perform live sometime this year in Jamaica. In the meantime fans can follow Tony Anthony on twitter at “tonyanthonymuze” and www.sonicbids.com/tonyanthony.

About Kimanda:
From humble beginnings singing in the church, to having the attention and eyes of her homeland as she represented her country, the one with the powerful voice, known as Kimanda Cunningham, wins over her audience whenever she performs.
Born in St. Catherine, Portmore, Jamaica, Kimanda remembers singing from a very small age, first for an audience of her family, then for an audience of her church.
Competing on the show Digicel Rising Stars (the equivalent to American Idol), Kimanda received national attention as she competed against thousands of her fellow countrymen for the opportunity to perform, and earn the show’s coveted top prize. Finishing 6th, Kimanda, as well as her fans were pleased with the results.
Some of Kimanda’s idols include Anita Baker whom she says inspires her lyrical content, Michael Jackson who inspires her performance content, and Whitney Houston who inspired her to share the power in her voice every time she takes the stage.
“Singing is like my heart and without the heart to pump blood through the body, there would be no life. It’s a precious gift given to me by God, and I will always share it with the world. Because of this gift, I have a relationship with the audience every time I perform. They want my energy, and I want their attention. We work well together!”
Using Reggae, Dancehall and R&B as her musical launch pad, Jamaica’s tough music industry co-signs on Kimanda’s talent as she has worked with greats such as Mafia McKoy (Yengeh, Dark Cloud, Full Size Riddims), award winning artist Busy Signal (Excellence in Music Awards, Youth View Awards and Reggae Music Achievement Awards), and veteran producer DJ Karim (Sean Paul, Elephant Man, Noreaga).
2011 marks the beginning of Kimanda’s career, and proof that she is the little lady with the Powerful voice.
