Antonio Fresco's Music Career
Antonio Fresco used to be a radio host and DJ for a popular station called 97.9 The Beat in Dallas, Texas. While he worked there, he got to interview many famous artists. These included rappers like Nelly and B.o.B., and the girl group OMG Girlz. When he was on the radio in Dallas, he used the name M-Squared.
Early Projects and Awards
In November 2011, Antonio created and hosted a special rap event. It was called M-Squared Presents The Understanding – DFW Cypher. A "cypher" is when several rappers take turns freestyling, which means they make up rhymes on the spot. This event featured Antonio and six other musicians from the Dallas Fort Worth area. The music video for this cypher was even shown in a Dallas magazine called D Magazine. In April 2014, Antonio was voted Best DJ by the Dallas Weekly newspaper.
Collaborations and New Music
Antonio Fresco teamed up with singer Jonn Hart and producer Clayton William to release a song called Blow It. This song was later re-released under the group name Hella Louud, which included Hart and William, with Antonio Fresco featured on it.
In 2016, Antonio released his song Light It Up. This song was in a style called Melbourne bounce, which is a type of Electro house music. Later that year, in August 2016, Antonio made his own version, or "remix," of a popular song. It was Calvin Harris's and Rihanna's song This Is What You Came For. A "remix" is when a DJ or producer takes an existing song and changes it to create a new version.
In June 2017, Antonio worked with singer Kennis Clark to release the song Bout Time. The music video for this song was made with the New York Film Academy. His song After Party came out later that year. After that, he released Lose Myself, which has sounds from dance pop and dancehall music.
