“We don't want to label [Disruption] in a genre, we prefer to let fusion do its magic, but what we can highlight, is its epic sound.”
“The mix of classical music, pop and rock is already evident in [ANCHORED], which has a natural concept and sounds like a real rock opera.”
Bio
Tony Manfredonia, the Michigan-based composer and singer-songwriter, is a true master of creating captivating and emotionally charged music. With his symphonic, cinematic, and dynamic sound, he takes listeners on a profound and passionate journey.
From epic symphonic rock albums to tender pop-piano ballads, and from mesmerizing instrumental suites to video game soundtracks — including music for Minecraft and Universal Studios —, his genre-bending approach and orchestral expertise shine through in everything he creates.
His newest album, "ANCHORED," achieved funding on Kickstarter in just 48 hours, bringing this project to life. Described by Obscure Sound as a reflection of “…new-found purpose, following a life initially dominated by one’s career, anguish, and resentments,” it is a story of marital redemption through the most precious pillars of life: love, family, and faith in God.
The pivotal moment in "ANCHORED" is captured in the third single, "VISIONS FROM GOD," where Tony explores themes of divine intervention, surrendering to a higher power, and the ultimate salvation of his marriage.
This release follows two powerful singles from the album, "CONFESSION" and "DISRUPTION," showcasing the contrasting yet equally captivating elements of soft rock ballads and intense orchestral-rock timbres.
His music has always been a reflection of his own life's triumphs and tribulations. In his concept album "ROSE WATER" and his EP "LOST AT SEA," he fearlessly tells stories of suffering, loss, and grief with raw honesty.
Featured on major media platforms such as Shalom World and EWTN, Tony's work resonates across diverse audiences, blending spiritual depth with creative insight.
Tony's orchestral expertise extends beyond his personal projects, as he has orchestrated music for acclaimed artists like The Accidentals, Song of the Lakes, and Bob James, demonstrating his ability to elevate the work of varied musical talents.
With his remarkable versatility, Tony Manfredonia effortlessly navigates a wide range of artistic landscapes, always leaving a lasting impact on his listeners. His symphonic compositions have a unique ability to connect with the deepest of emotions, making each listening experience a truly immersive and unforgettable one.
