Born in Puerto Rico, Antonio Torres, also known as Anthony T, moved from Puerto Rico to California in 1991 when his family immigrated to the US to find a better life. At a young age Anthony began to show a brilliance for music, and by the age of 14 he could play 6 instruments which included the saxophone, clarinet, french horn, trumpet, tuba and keyboard. Around that same time he also began to sing with his father in a Latin band, and by the time he was 16 he had his mind set on becoming a singer professionally. In 2004, at the age of 18, he became a freestyle artist and “Anthony T” was born. In 2005, Anthony moved to Houston, TX, where he currently resides, to pursue different ventures. After his debut freestyle album was shelved, he joined Kingz One. Anthony quickly began getting recognition for his strong and powerful voice as well as his charisma on stage. Later, he joined Jesse Fonseca as co-lead vocalist for the group 24Kilatez. The two quickly began gaining recognition for their incredible voices and ability to mix Tejano and Caribbean sounds. In 2012, Anthony announced he would go back to his roots, and began work on his first complete Salsa Album as a soloist. With the help of Producer Pachangara and some of the biggest names in the Salsa, Anthony hopes to score his first ever Latin Grammy Nomination in 2014. His first single, a cover of an Obie Bermudez’ hit “Antes,” has already been getting radio airplay on several radio stations across the U.S. as well as several TV and magazine interviews. Most recently, Anthony joined forces with super producer “Latin Will” for a fresh bachata take on the John Legend hit “All of Me”. He is currently in the studio working on his album which is expected to be released later this year. Anthony has shared stages with the likes of 24Horas, Teodoro Reyes, Luis Miguel Del Amargue, Tito Nieves, Mala Fe and Isaac Delgado.
