Bio

[bWhen he was 7 years old, Tony Felix and his mother were just looking for a summer camp activity when they considered a program at the Anthony Bean Community Theater. Felix chose to rap for the audition. Now, at 15, he's looking for a way to juggle both singing and acting as a professional entertainer. "At the theater, all I was doing was rapping," Felix says. "So they worked on getting my stage presence out." Many years later, Felix starred in the musical 504, which Anthony Bean took to Shreveport, Lafayette, Biloxi, Miss., and other cities, and it helped Felix gain exposure. Felix spent last summer in Atlanta recording three songs, which are getting airtime on regional radio. The track "It's Eazy" has climbed regional charts, and songs from the summer recording sessions can be heard on New Orleans stations 102.9 FM and Q93. Besides numerous stage credits at the Anthony Bean theater, Felix performed with Wendell Pierce in the Classical Theatre of Harlem's post-Katrina production of Waiting for Godot. He's landed roles in FOX's K-Ville and in films shot in New Orleans, including Labou and Hungry Rabbit Jumps. Felix is currently a sophomore at St. Augustine High School, and sometimes he telecommutes to class while performing in Atlanta, Houston, Dallas and elsewhere.[/b][/b][b][/b][code][color="red"][/color]
