This is my debut album as an HDM cover artist and singer. I have been training and learning and working on my artistry as a singer and as an openly gay singer my first album I call it PRIDE because these songs I hand picked to learn and cover and present them in an HDM type way whether it was changing words or adding in extra instrumentation to give these songs a feel good dance pop feel for I am an HDM artist I love pop music but more then pop music I love dance all the club banger and bops you can think of stretching from reimagining rock, R&B, pop, and even disco songs all melted into a funky fresh and enticing style that is me Tonêx (Toh-nay) a Jamaican-Irish decent gay black guy from the Bronx (the other Jenny around the block ) 😉🏳️‍🌈

PRIDE Version  (The Covers)

I know it has been a really long time since I have released anything on here but it’s only because you guys deserve the best. This is my cover version of Make You Say by Zedd Maren Morris and Beaux and in this track I decided to show you guys me. This wonderful upbeat track embodies every thing that I am and can bring to the table as an artist and I want to introduce the style of music I consider myself. And that is R&B/HDM artist I want to blend and fuse soul music with house dance beats and that is who I am as a recording artists . I hope you guys enjoy this song as much as I enjoyed recording it and shout out to Zedd for making this sick beat and collaborating with this fantastic soultry singer Maren Morris so without further ado lees jump inside my mind

Make You Say (Cover)

This is my cover of Chloe’s Treat Me I did this song to showcase my many vocal talents and I though it would be a fun trap song to really get your booty shaking plus my low harmony vocals were so on point on this song so I hope you all enjoy this I know I did

Treat Me (Cover)

This is a song that I did to relay a message to a very close person to me because sometimes they jut need to know why things are happening and can’t have no peace everytime you turn around the other person has something shady they are doing well this is why I also did this song as a Pride version cover and I just want to send a shout to K. Michelle for making such a iconic monumental empowerment song so listen and enjoy and remember you’re are worth happiness and worth unconditional love and when you “ see the signs of a grown ass boy” definitely run for the hill because you can’t raise a man 😉

Tonêx-Can’t Raise a Man (Pride Version).m4a

Ok so before y’all come for me for making a cover of this song let me first tell you how much Doja Kat blew me away with this performance on the 2020 VMA’s like since that I fell in love with this bad chick and I did this song for fun as to do for like a karaoke show during Pride which is the other reason why it’s called the pride cover version and also because some lyrics have been changed to fit the pride month theme #Sharewithpride hence the album art as well plus I really love doing this song because it really stretches my range in the hip hop rap genre because we all know Tonêx is not a rapper 😂 but I can spit some rhymes every now and then and hopefully this showcase of my talents will show that enjoy everyone as much as I enjoyed making this hot cover track and remember if you like it say so 😂 😜🏳️‍🌈

Tonêx - Say So I Like That (PRIDE Cover Version).m4a

Ok you guys here is another cover of mine and I worked really hard on this one because it is a very difficult song but it fits my voice so well I hope you all enjoy it I know it’s been awhile but I’ve been going through a lot and this song will pretty much describe exactly what I’ve been going through but what better time to sing then when you’re going through stuff and just need to let it out so that exactly what I did so without further ado here is #Torn a cover version of the song made famous by Ava Max

Tonêx - #Torn

This song meant a lot to me because who doesn’t want to be able to tell your ex oh you thought you’d ruin me you thought this was the end of me well who’s laughing now very good empowerment song after a difficult break and since my life seems to be constantly falling apart when it comes to love this song just fits enjoy

Tonêx- Who’s Laughing Now (PRIDE Version) .m4a

Reimagined version of the number one cover I changed a few things and did a different mix on the low harmonies

Tonêx- Number One (PRIDE Version Revisited)

Ok for one let me say covering Ava Max hard feat because she is very talented and does a lot of complex riffs and runs and phrasing but I think I pulled it off I hope y’all enjoy

Tonêx- Last Night On Earth (PRIDE Version)

Covered a new artist this time but this song is so energetic and fun even if I am singing about a girl 😂 I still enjoyed it

Tonêx- Can't Tame Her (Cover)

Ok so this song is very special to me because it’s the first time in awhile I have been 100% happy with how my vocals came out also this song is significant because as I am sure you all have heard this far ya boi Tonêx has quite the range and this was one of those song well I was able to incorporate my different vocal type ranges all in one song from low to high and it’s balanced pretty well any enough hammering about this song which is a total summer bop by the way thank you so much Shea Couleé for gracing us with pure music gold

Tonêx - Let Go (PRIDE Version)

Tonêx - Don’t Talk About It

This song is a lot of fun to sing and it is more of a happier song for me my last few songs have been dark and depressing because of what I have been through but I’m at a much happier place now and the next few releases you’ll will definitely be able to see that enjoy 😉

Tonêx - Heart Wants What It Wants (PRIDE Cover Version).m4a

Ok so this song is an added one and even though it is still HDM kinda of song it still feels kinda disco soul to me at the same time but hey I’m just an artist that interprets things and hears things differently I guess but either way this song is 🔥🔥🔥 it’s such a banger and some of my best vocals if I do say so myself so soulful and so smooth I love the smooth tones of my voice and I hope you all enjoy it too. As far as the meaning behind the song well it’s kinda self explanatory it’s about love and finding that one that feels you up with energy and invades your dreams like a sweet Midnight Dream………see what I did there 😉 enjoy guys because I love love love this song and huge shout out to @EllieGoulding guys she’s a hard artist to cover but this was one of her easier songs to me this was also the last entry of PRIDE Version album so enjoy I’m not done covering songs I’m just done with this project of covers thank you guys so much for all the love and support on this journey I’ve enjoyed you all immensely and love the feedback I’m on to better bigger things so stay tuned 😏

Tonêx- Runaway (Cover).m4a

Aspiring Soul R&B/EDM artist I have been singing since I was 5 and have set my whole life goal on perfecting and polishing my talents because I enjoy singing I enjoy being able to touch people’s souls and hearts through my voice my song my story and inspiring the world to hold on true to your dreams and goals no matter who you are where you came from we are all the same and we must survive together as one one world one heart one soul. Born in the heart of "Boogie down Bronx" i moved to Georgia as a kid and always felt like there was a part of me missing and then i found music. From that day on i dedicated my entire life to getting better at singing. I tried out for Chorus in school made it and fell in love with singing so much so i went through extensive vocal training and singing lessons and i didn’t stop there i practice on my own night and day listening to my favorite singers and listening to their vocal techniques and styles and thats how i found my own voice,I tried out for Allstate Chorus and passed with flying colors specializing in sight reading and intonation training. I done various music showcases Choral festivals and District Honor where  amongst the highest scoring in district included me. I have recorded and released on my own covers of my favorite songs and i tried to put myself in the forefront of the songs so that i was not just mimicking the singers but i was creating my own voice and image and style of singing and i decided that i wanted to try to fuse together R&B Soul with Dance/HDM genre of music thus Tonex was born pronounced (Toh-nay)
