Coming from Vancouver, BC, The Veer Union have sold over 150,000 albums with millions of streams, and nearly a dozen songs on the Billboard charts. “Standing My Ground” is their latest song, harnessing the struggle of people overcoming adversity in moving past their mistakes.

Born and raised in Atlanta, Tommy Stoner has produced for Young Thug, Rocko, Cyhi The Prynce, and more. He came out with his first pop album, Youforia, in 2019 and now, keeps improving his rapping, singing, and beat-making abilities.
