My name is "E$Y" pronouced (Easy) I've been doing music locally in Minnesota since 2004.

Band/artist history

I was originally born and raised in East Oakland, California November, 22 1986. This was around a time when gang violence was at a all time high. Tragically, My father was killed when I was a child which is what made my mother move to Minnesota.

 I had a hard time growing up but was a out going person by heart so it was easy to adjust and cope. I started music randomly when another student at my high school asked if anyone was interested and I volunteered as a sort of oh well kind of moment and its been history ever since. 

Today I go by the name ESY which Stand for Established Since Youth or Esydontsleep and is also a play on my Name where the ES comes from Jones and the Y from Anthony and lastly expresses my personality I make things look easy. I am also CEO of the Production Company/Indie Record Label Rize-n-Shine Entertainment LLC.
