Rising artist Tony Newbury has unveiled his new album, NO MORE CIGARETTES, marking another milestone in his flourishing career. Born and raised in Howell, NJ, Tony has steadily climbed the ranks of the local music scene and headlined his own show in Brooklyn earlier this year. With a unique blend of hip-hop, alternative and pop, Tony has amassed over 500,000 total streams across various platforms. His upbeat and melodic productions are underscored by lyrics that reflect his Central Jersey upbringing and his unwavering commitment to inspiring others to chase their dreams.
NO MORE CIGARETTES is more than just an album; it’s a manifesto for self-discovery and perseverance. Tony shares, “This album is about standing up for who you truly are and chasing your dream. There are going to be a lot of people who come and go. Some you’ll get very close with, and some you’ll grow very far from. It’s all good. It’s all meant to help you grow as an artist and a person. You just have to keep going! Once you start taking care of yourself first, watch how your life will change.”
The creation of NO MORE CIGARETTES spanned a year, with Tony recording the first two songs in a New York City studio and the rest in his home studio. The album features beats produced by Atlanta’s Poetic Junior, a collaboration born from a connection made on Instagram years ago. “NO MORE CIGARETTES is a pretty emotional tape. There were a lot of ups and downs during the creation of it. I’m excited to finally put it out”, says Tony.
Tony’s journey from local showcases to headlining major venues is a testament to his talent and dedication. His music, marked by its authenticity and emotional depth, continues to resonate with a growing audience. NO MORE CIGARETTES stands as a powerful addition to his discography, showcasing his evolution as an artist and his commitment to inspiring others.
