With over 25 million plus career records sold, four Grammy nominations and one Grammy Award as a music publisher, Music Mogul A.R.Johnson p/k/a Tony Mercedes has decided to step out on faith. Tony Mercedes has worn many hats in the music industry, including management of producers, artist and songwriters. Tony has owned and operated Tony Mercedes Records since 1993, as well as held the prestigious position of A & R director for LaFace Records, the label previously owned by Def Jam C.E.O. LA Reid and super producer / songwriter and artist Kenny “Babyface“ Edmonds. Providing A & R direction and remixes for artists such as TLC and Usher to name a few, Tony is more than qualified to have an impact in the Gospel arena. Most recently Tony Mercedes has added yet another title to his already impressive resume, C.E.O. of First Family Films. With the recent successful debut release of “Do Women Have the Right To Preach?” (Every Soldier Counts) and the production of his second Christian film “Outrighteous,” Tony has decided to return to the record business as well. This time Tony is bringing his know-how to the Gospel industry as a consultant. Tony feels that if the secular world has the ability to sell records in the millions because of cutting edge production and songwriting, why not bring those elements to the Gospel industry. So with that said Tony has lined up those persons responsible for platinum selling records to assist him in this task.

Tony Mercedes provides the following services:

Tony’s philosophy is a simple one that he adopted from his friend, Attorney Vernon Slaughter... “There are no unsuccessful people in the music business, just those who quit before their time. “
