TONY COLUCCIO
Tony Coluccio, a native New Yorker first realized his passion for music when he was introduced to the piano at the age of 6. After numerous years of intensive learning
from respected music professionals in a wide array of music genre’s, he entered into
the music business professionally at the age of 17, as an accompanist and vocal coach
on Broadway. After 8 years of helping artists and performers overcome barriers and realize their true potential, he went on to produce various artists at Broadbeard Productions. Two of the more notable artists at that time were Regina and Reimy (Japan’s Debbie Gibson).
In 1991, Tony moved on to develop his own production facility Blocksound Studios. During the next 5 years he proved to be a self-sufficient music machine and thus capitalized on the “Era of Remix”. Tony’s entrepreneurial success in the industry attracted the attention of acclaimed music producer Tony Moran and he was recruited to join Moran Music. While working closely with Tony Moran as his keyboardist, programmer and co-writer he developed a stronger understanding of musical arrangement as well as vocal production. Tony used this knowledge while working with such superstars as Gloria Estefan, Bette Midler, Barry Manilow, Patti LaBelle, Martine McCutchen and Jon Secada with whom he co-wrote six songs, three of which made Secada’s “Better Part of Me” album, including the title track. Tony was also involved in the arrangement and recording of a 48-piece string section on the ‘Gloria’ album.
Various New York DJ’s being familiar with Tony’s earlier remix work began contacting
him with an interest in production partnerships. In 1999 after moving on from Moran Music, Tony went on to become a driving force in the world of dance music with such successful remixes as, Whitney Houston’s “My Love Is Your Love”, Janet Jackson’s “Together Again” and “Doesn’t Really Matter”, Christina Aguilera’s “Hurt”, Kelly Rowland’s “Like This” and the remix of the title track for the movie “Dream Girls”. Two of Tony’s better known productions include Bette Midler’s ‘In These Shoes’ and Reina’s “No One’s Gonna Change You”.
