Tonja's passion for music started at an early age. He was a skilled percussionist who was dedicated to his craft and enjoyed playing, but also teaching, supporting, and encouraging others in their passion for music. Tonja marched on the drumline with the McDonald's All-American Band and he was one of the few high-school students selected to perform for Ronald Reagan. He won the high school Sousa Award, and went on to attend the University of Miami on a music scholarship. After touring in Nashville, he returned home and opened his drum shop, Wizards, to continue living in the world of music.
