After a being banned and subsequently being forced to take a 15 year absence from touring in Canada, the Wally Champ aka Tony Starks returns to Toronto to bless the stage this Friday, December 2nd at Sound Academy. Tickets are still available at TicketMaster / UnionEvents.com and Ghostface has already made it past the border so there is really no excuse not to be there.

Most people live there everyday lives based on routine. Routines are in place to give your life order, structure and a purpose.
Then we have those designated days were the routine has become so monotonous that we will do almost anything to break it just to maintain our sanity. This is portrayed in Tona’s new visual “Break Off” Directed by Tona and Anthony Payne.

Tona continues to bring that “Reality” over Rich Kidd production, with vocal assistance from Richie Hennessey. If you can relate to the feeling of wanting to “Break Off” from any particular attachment…this is your song.

Stay on the lookout out for Tona’s highly anticipated album “SILVERSPRING CRESCENT” coming Fall 2011.
