Starting his career at the age of 16 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Tony worked alongside legendary figures like NASCAR announcer Bill Cannel.

The Quiet Storm format itself has a rich history, originating in 1976 at WHUR-FM, Howard University's radio station. It was created by Melvin Lindsey, who curated a mix of slow-tempo R&B and soul music, inspired by Smokey Robinson's 1975 album A Quiet Storm. The format quickly gained popularity, becoming a staple for late-night radio and influencing stations across the United States
