tony

Though he has toured far and distant lands with a number of different bands and artist, Tony has always come home to the city of his birth...Hollywood! A busy freelance musician who at the age of 7 started out as an aspiring Classical/Flamenco guitarist, went through several different instruments until he stumbled upon the Bass.He has had private study with Putter Smith( Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers & Thelonious Monk), Tim Landers (Al Di Meola & Tracy Chapman) and Jamie Faunt (understudy of Bunny Brunnel) before he started touring and co-writing with Pops Cool Love, a group whose synthesis of Rap, Rock, and Hip Hop predated the explosion of bands in that popular "new" genre by over a decade (ref LL Cool J MTV Unplugged) and Low Pop Suicide (The Death of Excellence)... a dark melodic Rock band on World Domination Records.After years of Touring, live television performances including the Tonight Show and working with the likes of Taj Mahal, Jennifer Page, Tony Joe White, Cree Summers and others, he has returned to his home base and opened OWLFARM MUSIC & PRODUCTION where tracks have been written, recorded, and sent as far as London for independent artist such as Sean Lee. You can hear him playing bass on recent independent releases for blues artist Dennis Jones and pop artist Traveling Saints. While doing Bass sessions and live performances in Los Angeles he is currently writing his own original material for independent artist, songwriters and film placement.
