Ghanaian sensation and Belgium-based artist Tee Tonie has released a brand new single titled "MONEY," in his quest to use music as a means to change lives and encourage people to work diligently towards their goals.
Known by his stage name 'Tee Tonie,' Anthony Kwasi Essien is a Ghanaian singer/songwriter and hip-hop recording artist.
He was born in Takoradi, a city in the Western Region of Ghana. He is a family man and is currently balancing his music career with business ventures in Europe.
Tee Tonie developed a passion for hip-hop music at a young age during his days at Ackosa Senior High School, where he had the opportunity to hone his craft by performing at entertainment events and other school functions.
He began his journey with hip-hop but later discovered his versatility as a singer due to his ability to adapt to different genres within a single song.
After high school, Tee Tonie seized the opportunity to travel to Europe, specifically Belgium, to seek better prospects and further his music career. While in Europe, he joined music groups and produced several singles and tracks, some of which he created independently.
Tee Tonie was also part of some groups in Ghana, collaborating on songs each time he visited. To date, he has released five albums, each featuring a multitude of songs.
His latest single "MONEY" is available on all streaming platforms.
In 2023, Tee Tonie decided to rebrand and restart his music career, which had experienced a downturn due to decisions made by his then-manager that did not align with his personal growth and interests.
Following his rebranding, Tee Tonie collaborated with Boggy Wenzday on his debut single, presenting a melodious hustler's anthem titled "Last Last."
In this Afrobeat track, Tee Tonie aims to motivate and inspire the youth and his audience to put forth the necessary effort and ultimately enjoy the fruits of their labour.
"Last Last" highlights the significance of hard work in achieving the rewards one deserves.
This timeless tune was masterfully produced by the renowned beatmaker, His Excellency Presdoes Beatz.
With his remarkable talent and stage presence, Tee Tonie has had the privilege of sharing prestigious stages in Europe with artists like Tic Tac, Obrafour, and others as a supporting act.
Tee Tonie aspires to collaborate with artists such as Lasmid, King Paluta, Mr. Drew, and Sista Efia, with a special anticipation for a future collaboration with King Paluta.
Tee Tonie is poised to gain recognition for producing captivating melodies, leaving his fans and listeners eager for more, all with the support of his new road manager, Prince Asare, also known as Taste News.
