Tony Dawson-Harrison (born 9/August/1962, Newark, Essex County, New Jersey - UNITED STATES) is referred as Captain Hollywood as soon as 1987 when he released Debora / Streetjazz on the label Magic Cube. American-born rapper, dancer,and choreographer who became a key figure in the Eurodance music scene, this name was given to him by his military friends (because he danced even when in uniform). His first opus Do That Thang was released later in 1989. He was later involved in a few productions with the Eurodance formation
Twenty 4 Seven.
The
Captain Hollywood Project (1992-1995) was a major success before Harrison decided to return to his primary alias. All releases from that period can be found there.
The album The Afterparty (1996), produced by
Bülent Aris (from
Fun Factory), was released in conjuncture with the decline of Eurodance, but still managed to entertain with the title track, Love And Pain and Over And Over.After many years of silence, Captain Hollywood came back in 2001 with Danger Sign, a single set in a total new genre.
