Tony Claessens was born as the son of Toni Peroni, a musician and drummer of Het Goede Doel. His mother is actress and model Linda Dubbeldeman. Junior started out as a drummer.[2] When the band broke up, he moved from rock to house.[3]

In 2010, his first release was the single "Loesje", in collaboration with Nicolas Nox, which reached number 2 on the Dutch Single Top 100 chart.[4] It is a reworking of a song "Wie is Loesje?", which was released for the first time in 1939 by Wim Poppink and the Dutch jazz and dance orchestra The Ramblers. Thereafter, the duo released a remake of "Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" which reached number 55 of the Top 100.

The most success he had in collaboration with Tiësto, together they released "Get Down" in 2015.[5][6]

He has appeared with his father in the reality series Toni & Tony: Zo Vader, Zo Zoon, which was shown on RTL 5 in 2015.[7]
