“I’m Bill Nye-meets-Cartoon Network-meets-a rapper, all in one,” describes Dolo Tonight. The 23-year-old artist is vibrant, enthusiastic, and tapped into an array of cultures. Raised by artistic parents in the Central New Jersey town of Watchung, just outside of New York City, Dolo traces his creativity and analytical skills to his home life. He was encouraged to pursue his passions from an early age and an initial interest in the drums gave way to Jazz, Punk Rock and eventually Hip Hop after hearing Chance The Rapper’s influential album, Acid Rap.
Dolo Tonight was drawn to the poetry and wordplay of Hip Hop as well as an ability to be honest and expressive. He began to study the art form, listening to different rappers and producers, and one day happened upon a chance encounter with the Grammy Award-winning mixer Michael Ashby (Cardi B, Fetty Wap) at Mission Chinese. Dolo recognized him and introduced himself, and only a short time later they began working together on music.2019’s “Blue” proved that the rapper had something special, 2020’s “Zoom” began to present his range. Employing a spacey sound, Dolo’s bright, melodic voice used planetary wordplay. “It’s a single that leads into the story of Back To Earth,” he says. The colorful video, directed by friend/rap peer Kayo Genesis, showed Dolo’s unique personality. Elsewhere, he and Ashby enlisted producers Aruu, JohnEcks, Dave Hirsh, and Austin Marc to cultivate the perfect canvas for an animated delivery and heartfelt lyrics for his debut project back To Earth
