Tonie Nguyen
Biography
Tonie Nguyen [they/them] is a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, producer based in Brooklyn, NY. Tonie uses music to create safe spaces for their community to be emotionally vulnerable and feel less alone. Tonie has played in spaces such as The A.R.T./N.Y., Green Room 42, 54 Below, Ars Nova and the Knitting Factory in shows such as Broadway Sings: Mariah Carey, DirectorFest 2022: Girlfriend, and various pop/RnB acts in the NYC area. Tonie also played guitar 1 on the First National Tour of the Cher Show. When not onstage as a session musician, Tonie writes and produces indie pop music as TONIE (featured on Spotify’s New from NYC: Pop, Mobangeles, From the Intercom, and more). The LA-native writes and produces each synth-pop track from the comfort of their skylit home studio in Brooklyn, NY — a perfect backdrop for the emotional vulnerability that colors their lyrics.
