Bio.

Connecting a seismic vocal range to crowd-pleasing charisma, Australian-based recording artist Tony Sergi channels classic R&B influences into a modern pop palette. Center stage with a powerhouse band, he is a young man with an old soul and an extraordinary voice.

Since age six, music has been Tony’s life. “They let me on stage, and I never stopped,” he laughs. He has performed with high-profile artists like Jimmy Barnes and Samantha Jade, toured internationally, appeared for audiences of 80K plus at sporting events, and provided pre show entertainment for Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran concerts. He says massive audiences don’t faze him. “The nerves really help. It’s just getting out there and getting the job done.”

Growing up with an Italian/Australian heritage, he shared music with his extended family. “We love to get together and party,” he notes. In addition to singing pop music, he studied and performed in musical theater. “I took more of the performance qualities, rather than the sound,” he remembers. “You have to learn how to handle yourself in production environments. It’s a big picture that definitely pulls you away from the solo mentality.”

Headlining cabarets while still a young teen, Tony emulated the polished artistry of classic male interpreters. “I was labeled as the old school Sinatra guy,” he recalls. As he began writing his own songs, rougher modern edges surfaced, and he discovered a soaring falsetto range that he utilizes for a striking vocal contrast.

As a collaborative songwriter, his voice is his primary instrument. Tony has written and recorded in Los Angeles with songwriter and producer Matt Beckley, in a studio that had recently hosted Camila Cabello and 5 Seconds of Summer. “Matt told me, ‘I don’t care if you can’t sing for three months. We’re going to get this vocal take.’ That was a massive eye opener -- and we nailed it,” He remembers.

Tony expanded his artistry during a lockdown year. He wrote songs, connected through social media, and communicated through a series of vibrant videos. The rollicking club set in the video for his single “Your Heart Has to Go,” is actually his house. “My videographer has lights that can change a billion colors. He lit it up like the 4th of July, and we turned that place into a party.”

Describing himself as fun, energetic and “sometimes a bit crazy,” Tony relishes the adventures of his rapidly ascending career. “I’ve been ready for this since I was six years old,” he avows. “What you see is what you get. There’s no reason to beat around the bush. I let the music speak for itself. Push me out of the comfort zone, and hopefully I will give you gold.”
