Tino Tomas | Stay (Avail. Now)

Young R&B/Soul Artist Tino Tomas has released his new album “Stay, ” a fun Pop album that displays his excellent vocal range and makes use of several music styles, but primarily Pop, Jazz, and R&B.

“Stay” was produced by accomplished performer and DJ Claudio Mangione using Pro Tools, and contains fifteen songs, which includes the title track “Stay”, which is a smooth, slow, and soulful Pop tune. Other tracks include the more Rock-oriented (and aptly titled) “Rock it Right, ” the danceable and upbeat “Hands Up, ” and “Do It,” an interesting experiment in Jazz fusion. Tino’s music comes deep from the heart, and his songs are all about emotions, whether they involve love, betrayal,or just being happy and having a good time.

He often performs in both English and Italian. He marks Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, Marvin Gaye, and Jackie Wilson among his influences. When he isn’t performing or recording his music, Tino likes to indulge in his favorite hobby, playing video games.
