live at Low Four Studio

Tony Bontana is a Birmingham-based rapper, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who is a trailblazer in the UK's experimental scene, renowned for his self-coined "Splayed" style—a distinctive blend of degraded samples, non-linear rhythms, and deeply introspective lyricism. He is the founder of the Birmingham based independent label Everything is Perfect Records.

His extensive discography, including emotionally charged works like L’Humanité (a tribute to his late mother), the mellow, left-field mixtape TUMPIT (2025), and collaborative projects such as The Beautiful Malaise (2025) with Psychedelic Ensemble (which was picked as The Wire Magazine's 26th Best album of 2025), fuses abstract hip-hop, post-hardcore, indie rock, punk and soul influences, showcasing his genre-defying versatility. His new album, "My Name" is set for release in February 2026 and will be supported by the PPL Momentum fund.

Known for his raw, evocative live performances, Tony Bontana joined several major UK tours in 2025, supporting: Nourished By Time, Mark William Lewis, Chuck Strangers, Dry Cleaning, YHWH Nailgun & More.
