Maybe you don't know his name but, if you are a real eurodance lover, you already heard his voice...

Tony Dyer (aka AD Neal, Neal Anthony Dyer or Tony Tee) was born in London in 16.07.1970. His mom had to work to feed her three kids, and also to save enough money so that the family could all move to New York. At the age of 5, he got his first guitar in London and learned how to play by himself.

 In 1988 they finally moved to went to New York. "I use to hear my mo sing when she played her reggae music" he recalls. His grandma sent Tony to take piano lessons but it took a lot of transportation time just to arrive there, "I had to take so many buses through the ghetto I was not so happy with going there, so I stopped" Tony explains. He continued his musical training, discovering the breakdance culture, and learning how to sing on a stage.

Around 1991, Tony's Mom left New York to settle to Germany. She wanted to have a situation comfortable enough there before her could welcome her kids. Tony was the last to leave New York, because he preferred finishing his studies there, rather than having to go to school in Germany.

Since Tony arrived to Germany, he's been recording music (he contributed to more than 200 releases). "And I won't stop as long as God lets me live. I just love music" he explains.
 
 He became rapper for many eurodance projects in Italy (mainly produced by Fulvio Zafret) and Germany (for the labels Insania Records and Dance Master Records). He started touring in 1994, doing more than 100 shows a year.

The only time when his face could be known, is when he became a member of the Beat System project. He collaborated with various female vocalists (Martina Sres, Patty, Jay Babe, G. Fascina...). The project released 5 singles, under Intercord label, and an album entitled Refreshiator. On the single Fresh, he teamed with his girlfriend Janet Puzic (aka Jay Babe), who was at this time an English student. He explained that they met together in 1994, while dancing on this song. Fresh wente #1 in Croatia, #9 in France, #36 for 18 weeks in Germany.
 
How he looks back on the eurodance singles he recorded with projects such as Beat System, his feelings are mixed : "Too commercial ? no... Just no heart!". As a matter of fact, he often felt exploited by his former producers. But he keeps good memories of Fulvio Zafret, "he was the only one who was truthful to him ! He's great...".

Tony currently lives in Wuppertal (Germany). He still does music, and tours in German clubs. he knows he will come back : "I have been waiting my whole life to show the world what i can do !" he says.

In 2008, he started collaborating with DJ Yanou on the project R.I.O. (label : Tiger records).Their single Shine On was a huge hit, topping all dance charts in Germany. They went on in 2009 with the single When The Sun Comes Down and After The Love.

2009 : the new RIO single was entitled After The Love, oui in May. in October, RIO presented a new track entitled Serenade. It will be featured on their forthcoming album Shine On.
