Get to know Tony Carlucci
Anthony Carlucci, known professionally as Tony C, embarked on his musical journey at the age of 8 on the vibrant island of Key West, Florida. His passion for performance ignited early, with his first professional gig at just 12 years old, sharing the stage with none other than the legendary Jimmy Buffett. From that unforgettable moment, the stage became Tony’s true home, and his love for music began spanning across every genre and style he could find.
Tony’s musical education began in earnest at Daytona State College, where he majored in Woodwind Instruments, progressing in Flute, Saxophone, Clarinet, and Oboe. His pursuit of excellence continued as he transferred to Miami-Dade College and ultimately to the University of Miami, where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Music Business. His time at Miami was pivotal, introducing him to his guiding principle in music: “Find your sound, find yourself.” It was here that Tony immersed himself in the teachings of legendary masters, honing his ability to express himself through an array of instruments and styles.
After leaving Miami, Tony further refined his craft by studying with New Orleans musician Bee Benoit, focusing on mastering vocals across a range of styles—from opera and jazz to pop, alternative rock, and voice acting.
Now based in Westminster, MD, Tony is a proud husband and father of three. He continues to perform regularly across the mid-Atlantic region, gracing stages with multiple bands and ensembles, sharing his passion and enthusiasm for music.
