After his family relo cated to Cape Town in 1969, Tony enhanced his already considerable skills a nd Western training by absorbing and adapting the multi-textured rhythms an d varied styles of the indigenous music of his upbringing and surroundings. He began to compose his own music early in his career and his creations ar e shot through with rich African imagery and influences. Tony’s fingers hav e assimilated the techniques of international greats like Leo Kottke, Bert Jansch and - closer to home – folk-stylist, Jannie Hofmeyr and Zulu maskand i master, Sipho Mchunu.

Alongside his solo career, Tony has collabora ted and recorded with many other musicians to produce three award-winning a lbums and many nominations. In 2002, 2003 and 2008 he won the ‘Best Instrum ental’ category at the SAMA Awards.
