Seductive Beauty

Ever since a young age, Tony Gear wanted to be a performer. Whether on the stage or a sports field, he has always felt most at home in front of audiences. Throughout his education he was constantly surrounded by music and sung in many bands which has continued into adulthood. With such a versatile voice Tony has been asked to front jazz, rock and covers bands but his true passion is refining his own style.

His music has been described as a fusion of rich RnB melodies and jazzy chords with latin rhythms and pop rock solos. On his song writing which he honed whilst completing a degree in popular music performance at Vocaltech in 2007, he says “I believe it is my parents’ tastes that have shaped the songs I write. During my childhood I listened to bands like Simply Red and Fleetwood Mac to artists including Nat King Cole and Stevie Wonder, who is a huge inspiration. I really got into songwriting in my teens and I was frequently late down the pub on a Friday night because I stayed in to watch Top of the Pops on television!” Being very open about his life and loves, he writes songs from the heart about his experiences and emotions. ‘Seductive Beauty’ has a strong salsa vibe and draws on an experience on a rendezvous with a girl in a club whilst signature track ‘Notre Dame’, is an electric guitar driven number about a day trip to Paris. 

In November 2009 Tony reached the Live and Unsigned Final with a beautiful acoustic ballad titled ‘For Eternity’ which was critically acclaimed by the judges. Since then Tony has continued to perform on the London circuit as a four piece, building a fan base and getting his music heard. He feels he is still far from the finished article as his music is constantly evolving but hopes as many people as possible can enjoy his music and continue with him on his journey.
