About Tones and I
Originally from Australia’s Mornington Peninsula, Tones And I journeyed to Byron Bay in early 2018 to take a chance at busking. On the first day she had crowds spilling onto the street. Tones quit her retail job and decided to make Byron her new home where she lived out of her van for the year. Tones’ first single, ‘Johnny Run Away’, was released on March 1st and is certified Platinum, second single ‘Dance Monkey’ released on May 10th is certified Gold, and her new single ‘Never Seen the Rain’ had its world premiere on triple j gaining raved reviews. The song highlights her hugely impressive vocal ability and unique talent for songwriting. The single came with the announcement of her forthcoming EP The Kids Are Coming, due out on August 30 and available for pre-order now. Recently Tones broke records for the biggest crowd of an opening act ever at Splendour In The Grass with 20,000 punters coming to watch her midday set.
