| BIOGRAPHY Anthony Babino Singer / Songwriter / Guitarist An emerging and exciting new artist, Anthony Babino brings his unique and fresh sound to the music scene. Born and raised in New York, Anthony took up guitar at the age of nine, and began writing songs shortly thereafter. Influenced heavily by the Beatles and Classic Rock, he carefully weaves his tunes to include superb melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and excellent chord structure. The end result is the creation of new material that is both electrifying and entertaining. Anthony has studied with accomplished guitarists that include Richie Castellano (Blue Oyster Cult), Professor Edward Brown, and Ernie Jackson. Growing up around his dad, acclaimed Standards singer Tony B, he has been exposed to, and played with some incredible musicians like Mick Gaffney(Stuff), Jeff Ganz (Johnny Winter), Adam Snyder (Movin’ Out), Chris Clark (Mama Mia, Wicked), & Richie Iacona (arranger: John Pizzarelli, Celine Dion, & more). The opportunity to be on stage and play with musicians of this caliber has left a lasting impression on the young up and comer. Although he is a full time student attending Wagner College (on a music scholarship), his songwriting talent and musicianship is already beginning to be acknowledged. In 2005, he was recognized by WOE (World Of Expression) Bertelsmann Foundation Scholarship Program, and received an award for his original song “Raquel”. Subsequent to that, he had the great honor of being chosen to record another of his originals, “How She Does It”, on board the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus in NYC, as part of their “2005 Music Player LIVE Series“. What made the event all the more special was the fact that legendary jazz guitarist Pat Metheny came in to play lead on the track. Babino is already a multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, bass, drums, and a little piano. He is currently the lead singer/songwriter for the popular Staten Island underground band “Tanuj” (formerly Coming Soon). Formed in the fall of 2003, the band has been amazing audiences with their no frills, no politics, no whining approach to music.“We play just plain old good music”. In addition to playing with Tanuj, Anthony also performs with his younger brother Steven. The duo, known as “The Babino Brothers” or “Wheels” have already had the honor of performing at some very high profile events and venues, such as The Rainbow Room in NYC, The Richmond County Ballpark (performed the national anthem prior to The Beach Boys Concert), The University Club NYC, and an upcoming performance at Cipriani’s 42nd Street NYC. Anthony has also performed with his dad’s orchestra on stage in the Mark G. Etess Arena at the Trump Taj Mahal, & at the Hilton Casino’s 25th Anniversary Celebration in Atlantic City, New Jersey. He is currently working on his first solo recording project. Be on the lookout for this amazing new talent! |
