My name is Antonio Thomas, but my fest name is Tony Masters.
I am a hardworking and passionate entertainment seeker with strong social skills and I'm eager to secure an entry-level performer position. I am confident and ready to help this company achieve all of its goals.
I am a US Army veteran. I entered the Army a week after I graduated high school back in June of 2019. As soon as my OSUT (one station unit training) was done I went straight to airborne school and completed the 3 week course to become airborne certified. The rest of my Army career was spent at Fort Bragg, NC which has since been renamed to Fort Liberty.
While I was in North Carolina I did several high stress training events with (at times) minimal sleep and very long/ strenuous movements. I was apart of my battalion's best weapons squad and I also deployed to Poland when Russia invaded Ukraine back in 2022.
I completed a total of 4 years in the military and decided not to reenlist when my contract was up in July of last year. It was something that I am very glad I did, but I would absolutely never do it again.
As I was nearing the end of my contract with the Army I really didn't know what I wanted to do for a career. I had secured a job at an ethanol plant back in Iowa and I'm still there today. I really like do the job, but I don't love it.
I began dancing in May of 2023. Prior to that I'd never even taken a class and I still haven't. Everything I've learned has been from watching YouTube tutorials. In total it's been about 9 months, but the amount I have been able to progress in such a short length of time has been deemed impressive and comparable to those who have been in the game for several years .
I am here because I know I 100% have what it takes to secure this position and turn my dreams into a reality . Whenever I go to a show or fest I am told that my energy is unmatched and that same energy has even netted me perks such as a free VIP ticket to go see Sullivan King at the Armory in Minneapolis.
I made an Instagram account back in September of 2023 and was able to surpass 1,000 followers before the year was over.
I cannot stress how much attention, compliments and praise I receive at these events. I've had several photographers ask me if they could take photos of me and I was even featured on Breakaway Music Festival's Instagram page last year.
I can say with the utmost certainty that if the talent managers at Insomniac decide to choose me that they will absolutely not regret it . You would be getting someone who's passionate, driven and willing to learn as much as possible.
Thank you so much for your consideration and I look forward to showcasing my talents during this auditioning process.

I'm just a 23 year old man out here trying to accomplish my dreams. I know that my future is in entertainment/ performance and I would love to do that with Insomniac.
I was able to find dancing last year and it's been the only thing on my mind since. I truly believe that my style of dance paired with my physique, outfits, attitude and passion are all things that nobody has ever seen before .
