About

    Antonio Gardner aka “Tony G Brill” was born in Saint Louis, MO in the area named “The Ville”. Music was a major part of his childhood from listening to his grandmother conversing with family while B.B. King blues played in the background, singing and dancing to his father’s drumming, studying the bass line of “Real Love” by Mary J. Blige to always rapping to himself during his down times.

​

    As he got older, the dreams of becoming a rapper began to fade as he settled for reality and responsibility. He noticed that he has an interest in electricity and enrolled in college to become an electrical engineer. He has earned a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering and has been successful in his career for over 12 years. With much success and plenty of time spent at home due to COVID-19, he built a recording studio in his home where he rekindled his passion for music and from scratch he produced his first album “Cote Brilliante Ave”. 

​

    During the process of learning as much as he could to get the best sound he possibly can from his studio equipment, Antonio decided he wanted to pursue a degree in Audio Production after a cashier from Guitar Center listened to one of his songs and suggested the song required more production. He enrolled in Full Sail University to gain more knowledge on Audio Production.

​

    Antonio wants his fans to follow him through his process of learning and growing in his skills as a musician, producer, a mix engineer, and a mastering engineer.
