EP. 59 Feat: Sammy Zone, Reinaldo & Peter Fontaine

Freestylin With Stevie B

Sammy Zone, Reinaldo, and Peter Fontaine were all once signed to Tony Garcia's High Power Records, a prominent freestyle music label in the 1990s. They all had promising music careers under Garcia's management, but as time went on, their relationships with him began to deteriorate.

According to Sammy Zone, the issues began when Garcia started to prioritize his personal interests over the well-being of his artists. "Tony was all about himself and his own agenda," Zone said. "He stopped caring about the music and the artists, and it became all about money and power for him."

Reinaldo echoed this sentiment, stating that Garcia became increasingly controlling and manipulative as their careers progressed. "He would try to dictate every aspect of our music and our lives, and if we didn't comply, he would threaten to ruin our careers," Rinaldo explained.

Peter Fontaine also had negative experiences with Garcia, claiming that he was cheated out of royalties and denied creative control over his music. "Tony would make promises he couldn't keep and would constantly change the terms of our contracts without our consent," Fontaine said. "It was a toxic environment to work in."

Eventually, all three artists parted ways with Garcia and High Power Records, citing irreconcilable differences and a lack of trust in their former manager. Despite the hardships they faced, Sammy Zone, Reinaldo, and Peter Fontaine have continued to pursue their music careers independently, finding success and fulfillment on their own terms. #freestylinwithstevieb #djsamaent #peterfontaine #reinaldo #sammyzone #tonygarcia #highpowerrecords
