Since the May 2010 release of his single "Diary" which charted at over fifty Top 40 and Rhythmic radio stations, and that also reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs. Tino Coury has been "blowing up the pop scene," noted Usmagazine.com.[2] The music video was directed by Roman White.

Personal life
Tino is the son of Robert J. Coury, Executive Chairman and former CEO of Mylan Labs.[3] In December 2012, Tino was implicated in his father's jet-setting on Mylan Labs' dime. Tino's father was allowed personal use of the company jet per his employment agreement. Robert Coury, while he was CEO of Mylan, also had the side business of managing the fledgling music career of his son. Mark Maremont, reporting for the Wall Street Journal, matched up the larger of the company's two planes' landing with Tino's concert dates. The dates and times of the landing suggested that Robert Coury was not only attending his son's performances, but was also ferrying Tino between concert venues.[4][5]
