Critics hail Tony Visconti as one of the most important producers in the history of rock. And for once, the critics are right. Consider just a few of the classic musical moments Visconti's helped to create. T. Rex's "Get It On (Bang A Gong)" is a true cornerstone of rock and roll. David Bowie's "Young Americans," "Heroes" and "The Man Who Sold The World" are masterpieces. The Moody Blues' "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" and "Your Wildest Dreams" are indelibly etched into our memory. And there are so many more.

Tony produced and mixed Lucy Woodward's debut release for Verve and is beginning pre-production on the 2010 Alejandro Escovedo Concord Music Group release!

In 2009, Tony arranged several tracks for the #1 Fall Out Boy release, Folie A Deux (Island) and "Belle of the Boulevard" from Dashboard Confessional's After The Ending CD. This year also saw the release of Australian singer/songwriter Danielle Spencer's Calling All Magicians.

Earlier in the year, Tony produced Kristeen Young's upcoming fifth CD release, Music for Strippers, Hookers and the Odd On-Looker.

Previously, Tony produced and mixed Anti-Flag's The Bright Lights of America (RCA) and Alejandro Escovedo's critically-acclaimed Real Animal (Backporch/Bluenote). Tony also produced and mixed, "Mercury Jim," off the Razorlight lp, Slipway Fires (Vertigo/Mercury).

Tony produced and mixed Angelique Kidjo's Djin Djin, with guest artists Alicia Keys, Josh Groban, Peter Gabriel, Carlos Santana, Joss Stone and Ziggy Marley. Djin Djin (Razor and Tie) won Tony his first Grammy for Best Contemporary World Music Album. It is her best selling album ever!

Tony released his autobiography, Bowie, Bolan and the Brooklyn Boy (Harper Collins UK), written with Richard Havers. It is currently in its second reprinting and (finally) available in the United States.

Tony enjoyed a #1 release with the Morrissey release, Ringleader of The Tormentors, which he produced and mixed in Rome at Ennio Morricone's famed Forum Studios.

One of Tony's most lauded productions is David Bowie's critically acclaimed Reality (Iso/Columbia) CD. During its first week of release, Reality debuted at #1 on the Billboard Euro Charts. This comes on the heels of David Bowie's platinum-plus Heathen release.

Tony, who did the original mixes for the T. Rex concert film, Born To Boogie, was called upon to remix the soundtrack to the seminal T. Rex film in both stereo and 5.1 for its DVD release. In 2006, this DVD release won Best Overall DVD/Creative at the HEW (Home Entertainment Week magazine) Awards in London. In the 5.1 realm, Tony's completed eleven (11) 5.1 mixes including six titles for David Bowie (Young Americans, David Live In Dublin, Stage, Heathen, Reality and Live At The Tower) and T. Rex' landmark rock masterpiece, Electric Warrior.

In 2005, Tony spent some time in Denmark producing Danish rock artists Kashmir release, No Balance Palace, for Sony/Denmark. At home, Tony did the 5.1 remix of Coheed and Cambria's In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3 (Sony),TRAPT's Someone in Control (Warner Bros.) and FeFe Dobson's Sunday Love (Island).

Previously, Tony produced tracks for The Manic Street Preachers' Lifeblood (Sony/UK), The Dandy Warhols' Welcome To The Monkey House (Capitol), L'Avventura (JetSet) for Britta Phillips and Dean Wareham of Luna, arranged and produced tracks for The Finn Brothers' Everyone Is Here (Nettwerk) and arranged "Never Deny You" on Ziggy Marley's Dragonfly (Private Music).

Most successful rock producers can be easily pigeonholed. They offer distinctive sonic styles that, while exciting, can also make everything they work on sound similar. Not Tony. From Thin Lizzy to Luscious Jackson, The Strawbs to U2, Gentle Giant to Mercury Rev, this underground legend consistently produces music that sounds as unique as the artists themselves. Complimentarity is Visconti's highest goal; he never allows his own personality to overwhelm the task at hand. For proof, listen to Sparks. Or Badfinger. Or The Alarm. Or Ziggy Marley. Or D-Generation. Or Kristeen Young.

Producer, arranger, musician, mixer, exemplary collaborator-Tony is all of these. He is also among the greatest and most genuine musical souls of our industry.
