Mike Peden (CHIMES) was the catalyst in Antonia's move from Scotland to London. Mike hooked her up with a great studio in London, where she worked for two years singing, writing and, most importantly, learning the studio skills and equipment. Antonia's first big break came when she found herself working with Garage producer Grant Nelson, writing and recording some of his projects such as Ambassadors of Swing. “Feel Good” (Nice n Ripe), was a song initially written by Grant and Antonia, as an underground Garage tune and caught attention of many DJ's including Judge Jules and CJ Mackintosh. It took Mick Brown from Capital Radio who spotted her performing the track at a club, to make things happen. He loved the track so much he contacted his friend Neil Palmer, head of Telstar Records and Antonia was signed almost immediately.
As an artist with Telstar Antonia had the opportunity to write and record with host of amazing writers and producers. This paved the way and developed her skills as a vocalist, writer and producer.
Many record deals later and after a brief dabble in Acid Techno Scene, Antonia's sheer determination to experience every aspect of dance music lead her to team up Kevin Swain and David Snell. For four years they developed the sound that would eventually elevate the three to being hailed as the some of the Pioneers of UK Tribal House Music. Signing 42 records in 2000/2001 alone they set a new president in record signings that year. Menace, Xzique, Two Boys One Girl, Subproject and of course, Swain, Snell and Lucas are but a few of the 16 pseudonyms that transported them to success that year. Steve Lawyer, Danny Tanaglia, Orcar G, and Boy George were but a few of the main supporters of this popular sound. Yoshitoshi, Plastic Fantastic, Baroque, Underwater to name but a few, all clambered to sign the hot sounds that came from a small studio in Shepperton.
This is the journey that has brought Antonia to where she is now.
Already with a stream of dance records behind her in every genre from Pop to Progressive and many more on the horizon, Antonia's latest pursuits have been writing, remixing and production in her own studio. Her request by Sony/Direction to try a top line for the Flash Bros resulted the 2004 Summer Anthem “Amen”.
Antonia lends a special kind of magic to the dance and pop industry. Her versatility as a writer has inspired co-writes with some of the most talented names in the business. Full Intention, Grant Nelson etc the list goes on. At present she is working with Max Graham , Baroque records (various producers), Flash Brothers, David Guetta to name but a few.
