Tony Resta

Biography

Born in the small city of Lecce, in south Italy, at the age of 2, Tony Resta moved to Peterborough, UK. It was here where he spent the next 10 years of his life, growing a strong passion for Rap and Grime as the years went by. Being very close to London, that became his inspiration, with the amount of new artists popping up everyday.

Since the age of 12, Tony moved to the city of Lugano in Switzerland where he began recording his music in 2008. Years have gone by with Tony's success growing in both countries. Tony has collaborated with major Swiss rappers in the Italian region of Switzerland, performed in various events and gigs such as the Metro and at Franklin College. In 2009 he founded PROvidsTV, an independent video-production crew, since then, most of his videos have been auto-produced by him and his partners.

2011 marked the release of "The Overflow" mixtape, his first production, featuring a few personal hits such as "All The Time" and "Flashback".

In late 2012, Tony Resta was signed to a New York public relations agency, IAMPR, for 6 months, where his international exposure began to rise.
Shortly after he released "The Grime Time" mixtape, his second production which has sold almost 1'000 physical copies in Switzerland.

In the summer of 2013 Tony moved to Milan to expand his business, and soon after his move, he was accepted on the well known VEVO portal with his own channel where he has re-uploaded 2 of his best videos, unfortunately losing the views he had gained over the years in the previous channels.

Now in Milan he is starting from scratch, with late 2014 marking the release of "Ignition", an important EP containing some big names such as Rell and other artists.
