"The Music Industry Best-Kept Secret of the New Millennium"

2001 ► At the turn of the New Millennium, more than 110 Digital Albums were exclusively written and vocally recorded by Tony Baker. These intensive recording/production sessions, transpiring 2001 — 2003 in preparation for a then- projected 2009 Digital Transition in American Broadcasting (DTV) also enriched the digital content of the newly-released iTunes media library. Tonyzmusiq digital content is represented by over 80 personally-selected Performing Artists. The impact of The Tonyzmusiq Project Songwriting Catalogue has strengthened total music industry sales throughout the first decade of the Millennium with publishing and worldwide music distribution representation through: EMI, Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group, Sony/BMG (now Sony Music Entertainment), plus the independent — Razor and Tie (Fired Up Vol. 2 only).

This collective of Tony Baker "first recordings" has garnered extensive NARAS Grammy Nominations and Awards. These tracks maintained a consistent Billboard Top Ten Ranking presence 2001 — 2008. Notably, this recorded content and its envisioned artistic direction shaped the initial solo repertoire of the 2011 Billboard Millennium Artist (Beyonce) and reshaped the Billboard Artist of the Decade (Eminem). Tonyzmusiq artistic direction, vocal performance, and demonstrated song writing are further reflected in the exclusively recorded albums released under the affixed Myspace profile — People He's Connected To — affiliated artist connections (with a few exceptions of acquaintances). Complete album volumes include: Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion, Maroon 5, John Mayer, Norah Jones, Sean Paul, Jay Z, Missy Elliott, Eminem, Ludacris, Nelly, 50 Cent, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, LL Cool J, The Black Eyed Peas, Pink, Fergie, Eve, Gwen Stefani, Outkast, Snoop Dogg, Janet Jackson, Micheal Jackson (collaboration), Luther Vandross, Prince, Erykah Badu, India Arie, Heather Headley, John Legend, Usher ("Ursher"), Musiq, Micheal McDonald (Motown), Kanye West, Kem, Kelly Clarkson, Kelly Rowland, Fantasia, Angie Stone, Alicia Keys, Mario, Anthony Hamilton, Al Jarreau, Anita Baker, Seal, Sting, Stevie Wonder, Will Downing, Will Smith, Whitney Houston, et al. Each album volume helps to define the essence of The Tonyzmusiq Projects "body of work". The Tonyzmusiq Projects in Gospel are best reflected in specific album releases 2001 — 2005 from Yolanda Adams, Mary Mary, Kirk Franklin, Donnie McClurkin and Smokie Norful, as well as the 2003 divinely-inspired compilation titled, "Church: Songs of Soul and Inspiration".

Each performing artist represented by these created "first recording" projects are a source of inspiration musically. Their acceptance of each project, sight unseen, has enabled this emerging songwriter/ghost vocalist to reach the masterful "golden ear" of Clive Davis and in turn, his administrative resourcefulness. Consequently, these compositions have attained a visual life in Music Video, Television and Radio Broadcast, and on Performance Stages worldwide since 2001. Due to these efforts, I have MUSICOLOGY.

► Music Supervisors in movies and television have elected to license Tonyzmusiq digital content to complement their cinematic vision over the past decade. Contestants on the myriad of televised broadcast singing competitions (American Idol, The Voice, X-Factor) chose Tonyzmusiq content when presenting their vocal auditions and special television broadcast moments. To inevitably witness these compositions performed "Live", as part of each contestant's own music journey and aspirations, is a "Destiny Fulfilled". I am surprised and honored upon each broadcast happenstance..

THE BIRTH OF TONYZMUSIQ— For the record, Tony attributes the graciousness of, a then new artist, Jill Scott, for providing the initial 2001 recording opportunity to augment her prior released debut project, "Who is Jill Scott?" with his own vocal and midi instrumental additions (Tonystyle). The extended recording session that followed this digital remaster process fostered the first exclusively recorded original content — Beautifully Human: Words and Sounds Vol.2 — later released in 2004. In retrospect, I am truly honored by this "birthing" affiliation with the ever-inspiring Jill Scott, marking the beginning of the 2001 - 2003 Tonyzmusiq artistic/songwriter experience. The first decade of the Millennium in music has been thereby affected.

THE GIFT AND THE CURSE— Conversely, the music Industry tactics to disassociate my songwriting and recorded vocal production contributions on these specific recordings as well as its failure to dispense proper compensation for songwriter/publishing, performance, and mechanical royalty entitlements to this entity raises continued concern for the level of business ethics in Corporate America in Music (even within this new Myspace Music Platform).
