I'm Tino Attila a singer/song writer from Essex. I make music within the Urban field from RnB, Hip Hop, Rap, Pop, Reggae, Garage, House, Drum N Bass etc. I started as a DJ in 1998 and progressed into a producer the following years. I put myself into artist development for a few years and worked with various producers overseas. I am of Filipino decent but I was born and raised in East London. The pandemic has made the us all want to strive to be better. So I thought to give it another shot and come back with material that would hopefully resonate with people.

Story behind the song
An infusion of Reggae culture and UK Hip Hop. A homage to the classic Reggae songs from Jamaica but made in Essex by a Filipino English man. What we tried to do with this song was capture a happy go lucky song style. These words remain true to the fact we are moving as a family unit and are in the process of selling our house. The goal is for the kids to have a better life, living in a decent area by the sea. With the recent events in the world at the moment we just want to be where the negativity isn't so loud and up front.
Lyrics
Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh... Yeah, London is great but London is stress But I'm done with the white hairs, I must digress You see I got what I came for so I got to go This place ain't what it used to be, forget what you know Over sensitivity, everything's offensive Call a chicken a duck and everybody defensive So I'm moving by the sea, you man do your ting innit While I sit on the beach and reflect with some I love this city, but I have to say goodbye Streets all filled with hatred, don't want my kids inspired So we move on near the water and we find a better life Living in the sunshine, Queen and yoot dem by my side We're counting down the days (My side) We're counting down the days We're counting down the days We're counting down the days We're counting down the days (My side) We're counting down the days We're counting down the days We're counting down the days Emancipation, assimilation Blend with the crowd with no complication End of an era illumination Different train, different station But I love the thrill of the change Exploration, Switch up occupation Sweet partings and easy separation Only make it better with Intensification I love this city, but I have to say goodbye Streets all filled with hatred, don't want my kids inspired So we move on near the water and we find a better life Living in the sunshine, Queen and yoot dem by my side We're counting down the days (My side) We're counting down the days We're counting down the days We're counting down the days We're counting down the days (My side) We're counting down the days We're counting down the days We're counting down the days No one can blame us for leaving, nobodies surprised Living in a rut but then we opened our eyes Grinding at work but having nothing to show Tired of working for next man and not my own Putting food on the table was a literal thing Grafting elsewhere not getting paid to sing Fam our store was a lock and we were the keys People rarely gave a damn or clapped during Covid-19 Put our world in Discombobulation Up and leave no procrastination New school for the yoot dem registration Likkle change on identification Cant turn back there's no cancellation Shout out to man dem in reverberation New page pun da story now next mutation New trails, new tribulations I love this city, But I have to say goodbye Streets all filled with hatred, don't want my kids inspired So we move on near the water and we find a better life Living in the sunshine, Queen and yoot dem by my side We're counting down the days (My side) We're counting down the days We're counting down the days We're counting down the days We're counting down the days (My side) We're counting down the days We're counting down the days We're counting down the days Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh... I love this city, But I have to say goodbye (Goodbye) Streets all filled with hatred, don't want my kids inspired (Not inspired) So we move on near the water and we find a better life (Better life) Living in the sunshine, Queen and yoot dem by my side (By my side) We're counting down the days (My side) We're counting down the days We're counting down the days We're counting down the days (Counting down the days) We're counting down the days (My side) We're counting down the days We're counting down the days (Counting down the days) I love this city, But I have to say goodbye (Goodbye) (Have to say goodbye) Streets all filled with hatred, don't want my kids inspired (Not inspired) (Don't want my kids inspired) So we move on near the water and we find a better life (Better life) (Find a better life) Living in the sunshine, Queen and yoot dem by my side
