Bio:
Antonio launched his sophomore project, We Dance We Pray(March 2011! The project delivers a heady ride, as it musically crisscrosses the continent and the globe. He skillfully manages to take the art of story telling to new heights while riding a musicality that fuses African, soul, funk, gospel, dance and jazz elements into a cohesive whole. Fortunately he manages to stay true to his signature lyrical style while expressing his growth as a musician. With We Dance We Pray, he joins forces with the Soul Candi crew to deliver a musically diverse dance floor experience
A couple of Antonio’s favorites from We Dance We Pray are:

Mama Papa (co-written with Nkoto Malebye of Kwani Experience and Max Baloyi) - It is a melancholy song that fluctuates between grief and celebration. It captures the pain of losing one you love as well as the joy of witnessing a life well lived.

Lonely Road (co-written with Phoenix Kayode) - This songs folksy style lends itself well to Phoenix’s soulful sounds and Antonio’s unique brand of storytelling. The song captures the essence of a life journey lovingly guided by ancestral wisdom. It is a story that transcends time and culture.

My Africa (co- written with Lunga Nombewu and T Mbolekwa of Baainar Records) - is a throbbing dance floor groove with a killer bass line. The song features Refilwe Madumo, who effectively takes the track up a notch. Antonio’s vocals ride a musical wave broadcasting messages of truth and hope. The song effectively embodies the love and pride for a continent coming into its own.

Antonio is a familiar face in my homes in SA and around the world, due to his work on Film and Television. His credits include: American History X, Hotel Rwanda, Night Drive, 24, The Practice, Ubizo, Generations, Scandal, Home Affairs and Snitch.
