Summary

DJ Fat Tony is one of the most in-demand DJs on the planet. Over the course of his incredible career, he’s worked with the likes of Prince, Madonna, The Beckhams, Jay Z, Elton John to name just a few! However, he says his career only truly began when he overcame his demons – from enduring three years of sexual abuse as a child, to facing 28 years of drug addiction. Tony opens up about how he survived his struggles, and shares how an international DJ copes in lockdown, when all the clubs are shut! Learn more about your ad choices.
