=Tony Manzana= Tony Manzana is a young reggaeton artist who was born in Mexico, but was raised in the United States. He began his musical career by experimenting with vocals in high school alongside his friend. As a result, he co-founded his independent label, Fluffly Cloud Studios. He then signed Noto-Riaz (formerly known as Notorious Ace), K-Liz R, and Zari. His first single Vente Al Party was first released in 2017. The song features Noto-Riaz and K-Liz R and was originally produced by Soly Salma.

Early Life
Tony Manzana is originally from a small rural town in Morelos, Mexico. He was brought to the United States as an infant as was mostly raised in the United States. He lived most of his life in Chicago, Illinois. He began to gain interest in reggaeton when he discovered artists like Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, Wisin & Yandel, Hector El Father, Nicky Jam, and RKM & Ken-Y. Tony Manzana gained so much interest in the genre that he began to dream of one day becoming as great as other artists in the industry. However, he did not initially show interest in a musical career because he focused on his education instead. He graduated high school under the International Baccalaureate's Diploma Program.

Musical Career
What originally started as a visual art project, escalated into a musical career. Tony Manzana assisted his friend, KAI to create a music video about a forgotten high school,Froebel, that existed in their neighborhood in an effort to expose its buried history. Manzana and KAI titled their song for the video Froebel's History. Although the quality of their song was not very good, they were still proud to share their first song in early April of 2016. After finishing this project, Tony Manzana and KAI co-founded the indepedent label Fluffly Cloud Studios (which was misspelled, but they decided to keep the name as is).

Tony Manzana then signed on their friends Noto-Riaz and Envy. The group did not have many resources when creating music. They mostly relied on singing/rappping over other people's beats that they found online. Therefore, they were only able to release their music on soundcloud to not violate any copyright laws. Nevertheless, the new group then produced their second song, Our Grace, which was released later in the same year. This song was made to raise awareness of violence within the streets of Chicago.

Then the group of Fluffly Cloud Studios went silent. Upon graduation, KAI stepped down from music to focus on his education and left the label to Tony Manzana. Envy also stepped down for the similar reasons. Tony Manzana then signed on K-Liz R to join the label. Together, the three artists released the song Vente Al Party, which officially began Tony Manzana's musical career.

Continuing with the same methods, Tony Manzana only made songs over other producers' beats. As a result, he was unable to use his songs for commercial use. However, his songs did give him some recognition. His song Chicken Nuggets gave his recognition due to the song's comedic yet relate-able theme of enjoying chicken nuggets. He also began experimenting with different computer softwares to improve the quality of his music. Eventually, he was able to legally release his song Vente Al Party for commercial use in 2018.

Tony Manzana then signed Zari into Fluffly Cloud Studios and released his single Malas Influencias in early 2019 (Noto-Riaz is also featured in the song). Now, Tony Manzana and his label are in the works of creating his first album Pa' Empezar, which is expected to be released later in the year.
