Tony’s motivation is the art of hip-hop and he strives to give it the level of respect it has always deserved. His music not only showcases his enthusiasm for the craft, but also reflects his phenomenal growth and talent. Laveria credits his initial curiosity of music to his sister and brother-in-law, both of whom attended Berklee College of Music.

His brother-in-law created beats for him to rap over, both of which ignited a musical passion deep within him. Laveria has performed throughout Charlotte, as well as other cities on the east and west coast. He was an opening act for Summerfest for Charlotte’s top hip-hop and R&B radio station, Power98 FM. Tony also competed and won Atlanta’s Bar Exam - a hip-hop showcase and competition in 2018. The adrenaline that he receives from the audience’s reaction is a euphoria that he craves.
