Raised in the Bronx, Tony was taken in at the age of 13 by Fat Joe, who attempted to secure a recording contract for the teen. He took the name Tony Sunshine, and eventually became a member of Terror Squad. Fat Joe was like a big brother to Sunshine, also respected and understood his unique talent. Tony has collaborated with R. Kelly, Ginuwine, T-pain, Fabolous and Capone-N-Noreaga.
Tony Sunshine has sung vocals for Big Punisher on songs like "100%", "Laughin at You", and "My Dick". He has also appeared on some of Fat Joe's songs including "TS Piece", and "All I need". Terror Squad's debut album entitled Terror Squad was released in 1999, Tony Sunshine appears on several songs on that album also.
Fat Joe was able to finalize a record deal for Tony in 2005 with Epic and Sony BMG. Tony Sunshine was released from Sony BMG in May, 2006 and was signed to Urban Box Office. In November 2006, UBO folded, leaving the future of Tony Sunshine's 2007 debut release uncertain. Tony released "She's Like The Wind", that featured fellow New York artist Lumidee. There is an English version and a Spanglish version.
