When people think of entrepreneur, promoter and recording artist Tony B, the term “shy theatre kid” doesn’t quite spring to mind. But that’s exactly who Antonio Bradford was in the beginning of his creative journey, and in some ways, still is.
Born in 1982 and raised in Athens since the age of 1, Bradford spent his youth dreaming of becoming an actor. He took theatre classes at Clarke Central High School, and continued to pursue his craft at Augusta’s Paine College after graduation.
It was there Bradford discovered something else he was good at, and would prove to be the jumping off point for his future career.

ATLANTA (AP) A historically Black college that barely skirted death during 20 years without accreditation said Tuesday that it has regained that seal of approval.
Atlanta s Morris Brown College said the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools has voted to make the Methodist-sponsored institution a full candidate for accreditation.
The move means Morris Brown can offer federal financial aid for the first time since 2002, when federal administrators cut off the spigot as the college wallowed in debt and was being investigated. The former president and financial aid director each pleaded guilty to embezzling money because they diverted federal funds to pay for college expenses.
