Tony Bontana is a Birmingham-based rapper, producer and multi-instrumentalist known for his self-coined 'Splayed' style — a genre-busting blend of degraded, manipulated samples, non-linear rhythms and introspective lyricism. He is the founder of the Everything Is Perfect Records label and is famously prolific, with over 35 albums to his name. His catalogue includes L'Humanité (2024), TUMPIT (2025) and The Beautiful Malaise, while his 2026 album My Name marked his first full vinyl release. He has earned cult recognition along the way: Portishead guitarist Adrian Utley and UNKLE's James Lavelle are fans, and cult rapper Lil B tapped him to produce a track back in 2020. Beyond his releases he delivers weekly sets on Birmingham Sounds Radio and has appeared on NTS with genre-spanning guest mixes. DJ Mag named him one of its emerging artists to hear in February 2026.
