Tony Gore is an emcee from the Bay Area, CA, with strong roots to New York City. Tony was born on January 28, 1989, to a Spanish father and his mother, who was born and raised in New York.
Although he has been rapping and recording music since high school, Tony struggled with building a foundation for his music career due to personal issues and faced with extreme tragedies of his parents’ deaths. He has battled with alcohol and drug abuse and lives with cerebral palsy, of which he continues to work through using music. After a hiatus from music, Tony re-emerged as a serious solo artist heavily in 2016. Since then, he has opened for various popular independent artists/groups such as AMB, Scum, and Lex The Hex Master, and is currently working on his EP, Coming For Blood, slated to be released in May 2017.
Tony Gore’s music and videos have been featured on a number of online platforms. In February 2017, the music video to his song, “Another Breath,” received 6 spins on the Tri-State’s popular music platform, Video Music Box, which reached 200,000+ homes. He was also on Ear to the Streets TV, a Florida-based music channel.
He states that the New York attitude and entrepreneurial spirit his parents possessed, highly influenced his overall demeanor as a man. He uses those influences to fulfill his passion as a rapper. As an adolescent and teenager, he was a huge fan of heavy metal and rock music. Overtime, he was drawn to the lyricism and sound of 90s and early 2000s hip hop/rap.
