Welcome to TonyGarciaMusic.com and thanks for visiting.

The big news is that the video for my song Smoker was selected to be in the Palm Beach Internation Film Festival!

Thanks to all who came out to the screening the Film Festival's Music Video night in Delray Beach Florida. I met a lot of really interesting people and it was a real pleasure to be a part of the festival.

If you weren't able to attend, and you would like to see the video for Smoker, just scroll down a little farther and you'll see it. Special thanks to the amazing team of animators at Iluzija for making my drawings and my music come to life. 

Meanwhile, another one of my videos was selected as a semi-finalist in the 2012 International Songwriting Competition. This one is for a song I wrote about a dog. You can watch the video here: Tony Garcia's 2012 Semi-Finalist Video Entry - You're A Bitch

Palm Beach Int'l Film Festival Selection

I just got back from the Palm Beach International Film Festival. Last night was Music Video night and my video for Smoker was an "Official Selection". 

Everyone in attendance was very supportive of the 10 videos that were shown, and after Smoker was presented, I was asked to speak to the audience about the video. I was met with many questions that related to the story behind the song, the creation of the video, the animation, the production, the budget, the music, etc.. People were very enthusiastic and I was happy to be there to answer their questions.

Afterwards, I did an interview with a local TV production company that was covering events for the film festival. I did my best to answer questions about the importance of getting an education and staying in school, as well as my thoughts on hair, fashion and make-up. Yeah. If I find a link to the video, I'll post it on here, maybe.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who came out, and please take a look at the video and let me know what you think..

Double Intenders in the studio again!

We (the Double Intenders) have some really cool new tunes and I'm excited about sharing them with you. The first one we recorded in December 2012 is "Shameful Thing to Do", and I'll be uploading it here real soon with video. The second, we just recorded this last Saturday, is called Dream Machine, written by Ben. This one will also be ready real soon, with video.

Thanks for those of you out there who've been writing and requesting copies of my songs. They're free, so why not?

My newest solo tune is almost finished, it's called "I'll Think of You". I've been out of it with a cold which has delayed the recording process, but the for the first time ever, the video is actually already finished ahead of the song, and it's really cool, can't wait for you all to see it.

Lots going on

My music creation process goes in phases. Writing, recording, performing, making videos, resting, repeat.. They don't necessarily happen in this order, and often times they overlap.

Lately I've been in the recording and making videos phases. I just released the song and video "Smoker", just finished recording "Shameful Thing to Do" with the Double Intenders, and the next Tony Garcia song and video about to come out will be "I'll Think of You". 

You can download the song Smoker from this website for free, as well as most of my other tunes. You might want to do it now, before the accounting deparment finds out and makes the price go up to 99 cents.

If you have any comments, questions or suggestions for videos, please send them on, I'd love to hear what's on your mind!
