Tony is one of Radio Active's lead vocalists, often stealing the show by singing
soulful leads while dancing with the audience and encouraging participation. In
addition to adding smooth background harmonies when not in the spotlight, Tony
also has over 25 years of experience playing a 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and even a 9 string
bass! At some shows, Tony will pull out his bass of choice - 7 strings these days -
and amaze by adding unique funky, rhythmic and melodic bass lines.
In addition to performing with Radio Active, Tony is working on his second solo CD of unique and original
contemporary jazz music. He has experimented with Hip-Hop, Acid Jazz, R & B, Reggae and more and also
plays drums, piano, and guitar. Be sure to check out his personal website for more information and to hear
samples from his past CD and upcoming releases.
