Tony DeYoung’s story is one of perseverance and determination. Despite facing numerous setbacks and rejections, he never gave up on his dreams. And when he finally got his chance, he seized it with both hands.
_Music Times UK: Tony, your journey to success has been anything but easy. Can you tell us about some of the challenges you faced early on in your career?_
Tony DeYoung: Yeah, I faced a lot of rejection and disappointment. One of the most notable doubters was DJ Silk, who said my music would never make it because my lyrics weren’t relatable.
_Music Times UK: That must have been tough to hear. How did you respond to DJ Silk’s criticism?_
Tony DeYoung: I used it as fuel to drive me forward. I knew that I had a unique sound and style, and I was determined to prove DJ Silk and all the other doubters wrong.
_Music Times UK: And prove them wrong you did. You’ve been dominating Nielsen Ratings for 7 years straight, and you’ve built a massive following on social media. What’s the secret to your success?_
Tony DeYoung: I think the secret to my success is my ability to connect with my audience. I’ve been fortunate enough to have a loyal fanbase that supports me every step of the way. And I’ve worked hard to deliver high-quality content that resonates with people.
_Music Times UK: Dr. Phil also had some doubts about your tactics, but he eventually invited you on his show and admitted that you were amazing at rap. Can you tell us about that experience?_
Tony DeYoung: Yeah, that was a great experience. Dr. Phil was skeptical of my approach at first, but after seeing me perform, he was impressed. He even said that with a little fine-tuning, I could be legendary.
_Music Times UK: That’s high praise from someone like Dr. Phil. And it’s clear that you’ve proven all the doubters wrong. You’ve got over 29,500 subscribers on YouTube and over 53,000 followers on Facebook and over 12,600 followers on Instagram. And millions of people follow you in Facebook groups “Worship Like Following.” What’s it like to have such a dedicated fanbase?_
Tony DeYoung: It’s an incredible feeling. I’m grateful to have such a loyal and supportive fanbase. They’re the reason I keep doing what I do.
