Anthony Davis aka Ant and one half of the iconic hip-hop duo Atmosphere, is set to release the first volume of his solo instrumental series, “Collection of Sounds: Volume 1,” on September 6 via Rhymesayers Entertainment. A testament to Ant's extensive experience and skill as a producer, the album includes singles such as “Leather Soul” and “That Old Bongo Joint”, which showcase a variety of influences.
Reflecting on his music career, Ant notes the influence of his father, an avid collector of funk, jazz and soul records, who sparked his early love of music. Growing up in a military family, Ant's exposure to various cultures in the United States and abroad enriched his musical palette. Despite the challenges, he nurtured a dream to make his mark in music, a dream realized through decades of success with Atmosphere and now through his solo work. “Collection of Sounds” not only highlights Ant's versatility but also represents his bold vision to create a four-piece instrumental project.
