We had the pleasure of interviewing Anthony. Here are excerpts from the Interview.
Hi Anthony, Great to have you with us today! Please tell us about yourself.
I am a 30 year music veteran. I have been lucky to have continued success in the music business as a mastering engineer, mixing engineer and producer, and as an artist.
Please tell us more about your journey.
I started in the music industry in New York City. I was remastering older music from well-named artists like Johnny Cash and Tony Bennett. From there, I started my own company Xtream Audio and had a lot of success working on 3 Grammy-nominated and topping various charts with my clients. I started a band called A&L, finding success in the UK, charting 9 times on various Indie music charts, and reaching the top 20 8 times. Now I am releasing this new EP called Emotional Lockdown. The idea was conceived during the Covid lockdown.
Please tell us more about your EP, Emotional Lockdown.
Emotional Lockdown is my first solo effort in over 20 years. This music endeavor was born during the Covid lockdown. I am always working on other people’s musical projects. The lockdown gave me the time and mental fortitude to start writing music. Locked in my studio, music was my main outlet to deal with the isolation. I composed over a dozen songs. A guitarist by trade, this musical release is a new venture; the songs are pop/EDM in style with flourishes of rock guitar. Having more than enough for an EP, I split up the songs with more radio-friendly songs going on the EP and the others for my live DJ set.
What are the strategies that helped you become successful in your journey?
I am not sure about strategies other than basic marketing. I would say hustle, work hard, and personally contact the tastemakers that you are hoping to cover your release. That has helped me immensely. I have forged relationships with these people who have helped me get the word out in an organic manner that ensures real interaction and coverage.
Any message for our readers.
I hope that you check out my music and share it. Reach out to me via social media and let me know what you think. I am on all streaming services.
