Brian Anthony

Portrait of a Performer, Singer/Songwriter, Producer: Brian Anthony

(*Read further for Brian's STATS!)

Raised in the small suburb of San Francisco called Belmont, Brian Anthony began his musical journey at the ripe age of eleven. Brian's musical intonation and "ear" for music made it possible for him to play the piano with ease. It was then that he began playing and seriously song writing on his own--with no formal training. At thirteen, Brian would fool his piano teachers by picking pop pieces off the radio and duplicating them in recital or in practice. Soon, everyone realized what Brian was up to and he would have to back track and finally learn the notes.

After a few years of being classically trained in voice and piano, Brian began to cut his teeth on auditioning for musical theater productions in the San Francisco Bay Area. At the same time, he single handedly snagged himself his first commercial theatrical agents. Between school productions and professional theater, auditioning for commercials and major motion pictures AND keeping a favorable GPA at Carlmont High School...Brian barreled his way into show biz. So I guess you can sum Brian up in one word... "DRIVEN".

While still fresh to the business and acting and singing on stage, film, and TV--Brian won a spot (out of 600 applicants of all ages) on NBC's Saturday morning show, "Name Your Adventure". There, Brian would write and record with Boyz II Men an original ballad called, "Save Me From The Pain". This episode and song aired all over the nation and opened a lot of doors for Brian as a credible and professional young singer/songwriter musician.

In the winter of 2001, Brian took a trip to Nashville to song write with some of the most seasoned musicians in the biz. There, Brian would co-write 4 songs in 7 days and two of them would be chosen to re-record in Los Angeles. These would make it on his 6 song EP, "RISK" that you can order at CDbaby.com--an online music store (www.cdbaby.com/cd/briananthony).

Among some of the celebrity clientele having worked with some of the talent in Brian's songwriting and producing camp are Jewel (Compilation/Atlantic Records), Paula Cole ("Where Have the Cowboys Gone" Warner Bros.), Stacey Ferguson ("Black Eyed Peas"), Martika ("Toy Soldiers"), Kimberly Locke (American Idol /Remix "When I Think of You") "Deborah Gibson (Broadway Star/M.Y.O.B.), Swirl 360, Karissa Noel ("Corrupt"), and Tina Turner--the list goes on...

Brian's most recent endeavor has a very fresh new direction and mass global musical appeal. He's decided to move into the dance market and craft some new high energy dance tracks for the clubs such as the remix of "Never Again/ (That Kind of Love)". Brian also decided to join forces with San Francisco Bay Area producer/writer "Big Ed" Moore of E-Team Productions and MixFixer Music who worked with the likes of Jewel, and Paula Cole (song "Where Have the Cowboys Gone" catapulted to #3 on the dance charts ) among many others. There in Northern California, "Big Ed" and Brian co-wrote and recorded Brian's sure to be club smash-hit "IN MY DREAMS"--a sexy and edgey old school house track with a base line to make you get up and dance your butt off!

These days you will find Brian performing and promoting his new music in clubs all over the Los Angeles area. You can also look forward to even MORE music as Brian is in the recording studio right now, crafting more new tracks! He's also making time for a little acting on the side.

This savvy heartthrob with matinee idol looks, a down-to-earth demeanor, and a talent to reach out to the global market place in music with his fresh new direction-- makes him a candidate for superstardom in the months to come!!!
