Canada has got talent; especially South Asian Youth are making a good mark here.
STAN Music (Sounds of Toronto Audience Network) has pledged to give a platform to those who have it and a determined to fulfill their dreams.
Dillon Antony, A Proud Canadian with South Asian roots, is definitely an exclusive pick by Stan Music and a music star in the making – dreamy eyes, humble smiles and always humming a tune when not talking, a handsome young enthusiastic music lover is coming out with his Debut Single, “Blowin My Mind”- a peppy pop romantic track that must not be missed.
Besides passion for singing and writing (no wonder he has written the lyrics for the song as well) which he has been doing since very little. Dillon loves to play piano and guitar, enjoy a few different forms of dancing, play basketball and is an aspiring theatre artist with a degree in Accounting.
When asked how Blowin My Mind came into his mind, he replied, “Music has always been my biggest passion. One day the thoughts of my ‘then’ crush were blowing my mind (giggles) and my twin brother was playing with his basketball in the same room. The melody and rhythm of the ball hitting the floor while he dribbles, kick-started the whole concept. The lyrics and a basic melody were ready!”
On hearing this, we wish Dillon to have many more crushes so he can write many more songs.
Dillon replied *gushingly*, “No, it’s when you are in your personal space; everything just comes together in a better way.” When asked, “How everything came together as a complete song and video?” Dillon introduced us to the composer Pravin Mani with whom the song was ready within ‘just 5 minute.’
They were joined by video director, Shiran Mather, who gave an engaging visual story to the song with an interesting twist at the end.
“You will see it playing in all the music channels right after it’s launched.” Dillon tells us with excitement in his eyes, “The launch is on the 27th and you can listen to my song on all digital platforms – YouTube, Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, Google Play, iHeartRadio, and Amazon. You can follow me, Dillon Antony, on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat for more updates. I’ll be talking in detail about it on OMNI, October 27th and on Channel 14.”
We congratulate Dillon Antony for the music that’s blowing our minds and I’m sure listeners will love it too.
We wish Dillon all the best and hope to hear more music from him in future as well.
