It fulfills me, whether it gets recognition or not, or
whether it sells or not. I just enjoy it and try my
best to get it out there using social media platforms,
which is truly a big key to my success.
LM: Mimy & Tony" is not only a musical
collaboration but also a celebration of family.
How did working on this album with your
mother Mimy deepen your bond and musical
connection?
TS: This is probably one of the most special projects
in my entire life, and for the rest of my life. It has
united my mom and me big time, but not only that,
the entire family. To celebrate her success, her
Grammy nomination, and her huge collaborations
on her first debut album at 64 years of age is a very
big thing for her and for us. She sacrificed her life,
her career, to raise her three children, migrate to a
new country, and start from scratch. She wasn’t
able to pursue her dream, so it’s very special that so
many years later, that dream would come to life.
LM: Your mother, Mimy Succar, is also a
musician. What was it like performing and
recording with her on your album "Mimy &
Tony"? How did her presence impact the creative
process and the overall dynamic of the project?
TS: My mom surprised me big time. She had never
recorded in a recording studio in her life; it was her
first time. In the beginning, of course, she was
scared, not knowing how she would sound in the
studio. But as soon as she felt comfortable, I noticed
she was born for this. Although she let herself be
guided by me, she definitely interpreted the music
