Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, Anthony developed a love for music when he was very young. Intrigued by bands such as Kiss, Rush, Ozzy and many others, he knew music was his future. At the age of 12, he joined his school band playing the baritone. Soon after, Anthony picked up the bass guitar. However, his heart was set to play drums. After a year on the bass, he purchased his first drum kit. It wasn't until he was 17 that guitar caught his eye. So, much like the drums, he saved his money and bought his first guitar. This began a new journey!
Being a lover of music, he was influenced by many incredible musicians. This allowed him to devolop a very diverse style. Rock, jazz, blues, heavy metal, spanish...ect. This opened up the doors to many opportunities! At 19, he decided to become a music instructor teaching guitar, drums and bass guitar.
As the years progressed, Anthony worked as a session musician and also toured with several bands. All the while, writing and releasing his own music as a solo artist.
Today, Anthony continues to work as a solo artist, studio musician, music teacher and touring artist.
