A Night to Remember marks the first time that Tony Okungbowa and Jojoflores have worked
together, however the two initially met in 2010 through a mutual
friend. An identical passion and love for music had the two trading
creative ideas and music throughout the night and a few months later
Jojoflores invited Tony to play at his well-known Gotsoul party in
Toronto. Following the party, the duo met with Cucuzzella who suggested
using Unidisc Music's catalogue to create what would become the aptly
named, A Night to Remember.
"A Night to Remember was an opportunity to deliver a DJ playlist to a
wider audience, music that we would listen to ourselves," says Tony
Okungbowa. "People always ask me, what kind of music do you listen to?
What do you like? And this is it. This is the music I love."Jojoflores
continues, "This project was a journey through the past for us
musically. When we added in France Joli's "Gonna Get Over You" I was
flushed with memories of growing up. It's just such a good feeling, so
uplifting. I hope our listeners will enjoy the record in the same way
and that it will take them on a journey of their own."
"It was the first time a regular DJ had been featured on a daytime
national network television show." - The Book LA
Besides DJing on the show and soundtracking Ellen's famous dance intro,
Tony is in constant demand to play at high profile events around the
world, including Grammy' parties, the ESPYs, Golden Globe events, Film
Foundation Honors, People Magazine Emmy Party, Paper Magazine Beautiful
People LA Party, Dreamwork's The Night Before The Oscars, and many
more. His love for music can also be heard through the albums he has
released and collaborated on including Hollywood Sessions Vol. 1, Total
Dance 2009.
Recently, Tony has his sights set both behind and in front of the camera
starring in and executive producing the film Restless City, which opened on April 27th, 2012, and was an official selection of the
2011 Sundance Film Festival. He has the forthcoming Ma George set to be released in 2013. Under his Turntable Studios banner, Tony
continues to expand his horizons as an entertainer and as a visionary.
He's broken ground, charmed the world, and the best is yet to come.
