    Tones and I, whose real name is Toni Watson, is an Australian singer-songwriter who released her hit song "Dance Monkey" in 2019. She was inspired to write the song after a frustrating experience of street performing for six hours, where crowds were drunk and rowdy. One person stole her money and another tried to play her keyboard without permission. The song describes her experience of feeling disrespected by crowds who lacked patience and just wanted her to dance without really listening to her performance. The song went viral and launched her career.
