Born on the Island of Nassau, Bahamas, Anwar could not escape his destiny of becoming an International singer/song writer/producer/Artist. His Father was the late (Mr. Tony Seymour Sr.) who is credited with the Bahamas's first Gold Record, in recognition of selling over a million records in the 1960's, for a song entitled "Pretty Blue Eyes". Anwar has the distinct ability of entertaining audiences from 1-100 years old.
From the tender age of 8 years old, he has been singing and performing in his native homeland. He's won countless awards, like Best Male Vocalist, Mr. Talented Bahamas, and the Governor's Silver Coin for outstanding Bahamians.
Anwar has toured with International recording artist like; H-Town, Brain McKnight, and the late Gerald Levert, just to name a few. He was also a part of the Grammy award winning group the BAH-A-MEN.
While with the group he performed nightly at the world famous Atlantis night club called "Dragons". He also toured Japan and Europe as a member. Anwar believes that the key to succeeding in life is studying history, understanding what mistakes where made, and setting a plan of action to quickly move forward.
So with this knowledge, Anwar made the discussion early in his career to leave the BAH-A-MEN. With a keen sense of Business he understands that the business of entertaining, is just as important as the performance aspect.
He has since gone on to forming two entertainment firms- one based in Nassau, Bahamas entitled VIP Enterprises Co., Ltd http://www.vip-ent.com/ . With VIP Enterprises, Anwar books entertainment for Corporate Groups coming to the Bahamas from all around the world. He also has an Entertainment/ recording company located in New York entitled Islandboy4everentertainment.Inc http://www.island-boy.com/ . On the label Islandboy he has released two singles featuring multi-platinum rappers which includes (Talib Kweli) on a song titled Natural Woman", and (Joe Buddens) on a song titled "Stressin". On Aug/1/2009 the island boy website will be re-launched with new downloads and videos, make sure you visit for a chance to win a weekend stay at the W Hotel in New York.
In February the year 2010, Anwar will be releasing a full length album titled "Bahamian in New York". This album will feature a new innovative sound that is now known as "Junka-Pop-Rock". As a fan of all genders of music, Anwar has companied the rhythmic beat of his native festival called Junkanoo, with the silk lyric format of popular music, while still painting Bahamian story lines, and the roughness of rock and roll to appeal to a larger audience.
Anwar has worked with a number of talented singers/songwriters/ and producers in the past. But for this album he enlisted the services of multi-platinum producer Fred Rosser. Fred has produced for artist like Bobby Brown, KC and JOJO, movie scored the film prison song staring Mary J Blige and Q-Tip, his body of work can be seen and heard world wide. Anwar was so impressed with the first song they both produced together titled (Alien in New York) that he asked Fred to executive produce the entire album with him, and he happily said yes.
This album will feature such songs like Alien in New York, Spring Break Love, and Why. Anwar has been quoted as saying" It is really the sound track of my life, and the lives of kids, just like me growing up on the Island in the mid- 80's, the way we speak and our swagger can be heard all over this record". Anwar believes that this is his best work to date. The approach was to make only singles not album fillers. In Addition to music Anwar is working on a number of great projects.
