Tone!, the Oakland-born singer, songwriter and record producer has consistently dropped critically acclaimed albums like Instant Vintage (which earned five Grammy nominations) while also working behind the scenes collaborating with music pioneers like Solange (producing her award-winning album, A Seat at the Table), D’Angelo, John Legend, Joss Stone, The Roots, A Tribe Called Quest, Stevie Wonder, the Bee Gees, The Isley Brothers, Mary J. Blige, TLC, Whitney Houston, Snoop Dogg, Earth, Wind and Fire and more.
