SOON AN UPDATE FOR 2013

Songwriter & Music Producer

Tony started his professional music carrier as a guitarist, backing vocalist and arranger of the famous Dutch Rock band Kane in 1998. Within 2 years Kane became the number one Dutch Rock band in the Netherlands ( sold double platinum twice and performed in the popular festivals all over Europe ). In 2002 after two albums Tony left the band in order to focus on his career as a songwriter and producer. In that same year Tony peaked at #8 on the Dutch Official Charts and 1# on the Indonesian Official Charts with his song "Inside My Head". It was his first commercial release and was recorded by Dutch Rock band Di-rect ( the song became their breakthrough hit ). Also " Inside My Head " was awarded with a Dutch Edison for 'Best song 2002' in the Netherlands later that year. The writing was on the wall....
In 2003 Tony signed at Universal Music Publishing, from that moment on Tony was traveling around the globe, producing and writing for newly signed and established artists. His National and International releases peaked high up in the charts. One of his worldwide successes started in 2005 when Tony started co-writting songs for Cascada. So far the group has sold an estimated 14 million copies of their three albums, and 36 million singles worldwide. Tony became part of the Zooland writers team who also writes for other successful acts signed to the label (check Discography). In 2009 Tony signed his publishing to BMG Rights Management and continued to write massive tunes for diverse artists. In 2010 Tony started his own company Moreland Music Group. Moreland is a collective of talented songwriters, producers and managers focussing on 'Artist Development'.
