About Tony Breed
Tony is a cartoonist, product designer, and DJ in Chicago—one of CHIRP Radio’s inaugural DJs way back in 2010. He inherited an abiding love of music and radio from his father, and he loves discovering new music to share with listeners. A long time ago he uploaded a video of himself dancing in the studio, and it was so popular that he’s been doing it every week since then. Also, he once won “beast beard in Chicago” from The Chicago Reader, and he makes a mean pie.
