Captain Hollywood - More And More

The offical Captain Hollywood Videoclip:

Tony Dawson-Harrison (aka CAPTAIN HOLLYWOOD) is an american that used to live in Germany and actually pioneered the EURODANCE movement in the 90`s.
He has been called CAPTAIN HOLLYWOOD since 1982; the name was given to him from his military friends (because he danced even when he was in uniform).
Captain Hollywood was the very first BREAK DANCE ARTIST IN EUROPE, he performed on a national TV show in 1983 by the name of "FORMEL EINS". He danced to the song of "Pack Jam" by the Junzon crew and the whole nation was watching the 1st channel "ARD" as the Captain began his musical career.
He became the choreoghaph of the show "Formel Eins" and afterwards for many others like LATOYA JACKSON, KIM WILDE, NATALIE COLE, O-TOWN, CC CATCH, DJ BOBO and many more.
He represented Germany in Cannes for the break dance movie premier of "BEAT STREET".
From 1985 to 1987 Tony released 3 singles and an album as Captain Hollywood, this gave him respect in the clubs and support from the DJs.
He charted indepently without any help from a major record company.


TWENTY 4 SEVEN

He also worked together with a producer from Holland (Rude von Reihe) and a rapper from Holland (Recardo-MC Fixx IT). Together Tony, Recardo and Rude created the Holland based Project "TWENTY FOUR SEVEN" .
