Anthony Jeffrey, born February 17, 1949, in Cabbagetown, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is a musician and visual artist known by his stage name Tonetta. In the early 1980s, Jeffrey began recording original music on cassettes while living as a recluse. He launched his first YouTube channel in 2008, which eventually led to his record label debut. His musical style is often described as lo-fi and outsider pop, with influences from John Lennon, rock, and soul music. Tonetta’s discography includes albums such as 777 (2010), 777 Vol II (2010), and 777 Vol III (2011). Notable songs include "Pressure Zone" and 'Drugs, Drugs, Drugs," the latter of which was covered by the Southern California band The Growlers during their 2012 Coachella set. In 2019, Canadian rapper Freddie Dredd sampled Tonetta’s song "You Make Me Cum" on his single Weather.
