About

At a music event in Los Angeles, Anthony was chosen randomly from the audience to play for Kara DioGuardi. At the end of the performance Kara stood up and hugged Anthony, showing him the goose bumps on her arms.

“Totally unique, your voice was so on the money, it was effortless, I bought into you and I forgot where I was.”-Kara DioGuardi.

Anthony is a rare find, an artist that can take on many genres but is most influenced by pop culture and bands like Rob Thomas, Cold Play and Neil Finn. Anthony’s brand of pop rock is all about connection.

“In my head every performance is a stadium rock show, every song comes out of me, it’s like a part of my soul reaching out to everyone” –Anthony Snape

Anthony spent his first year in the US opening for Tommy Emmanuel, playing over 18 states and reaching thousands of new fans. In the same year he landed his first American TV placement. “Walking” from his debut album featured on the top rating NBC program “The Biggest Loser 5″. It was broadcast into millions of American homes and aired around the world.

In 2010, Anthony was signed to a major college-booking agency and showcased at the NACA nationals as a Main-Stage artist. He was subsequently snapped up by colleges all over the US and has been touring ever since.

Snape’s songs and unique guitar playing style have been the perfect fit for major festival and concert events. From his base in Nashville, TN, Anthony has performed at a variety of venues from theatres (The Birchmere VA, The National, The Majestic) and clubs (The House of Blues LA & New Orleans, BB King’s NYC, Park West Chicago) to performing arts centers (in Virginia, Nashville, Texas, Kansas and Wisconsin), colleges and festivals (SXSW 2009 and The Bondi Beach Festival).

From the release of his album Disappearing Day and with a distribution deal under his belt the first two singles, “Little Piece of Love” and “Daylight” gained radio airplay across three continents (USA – Lighting 100, Europe–Big FM and Australia–Triple M, Nova). Anthony has also won numerous music and songwriting awards (MusicOz, Rising Star, ASA Awards, SongDoor) and has appeared on TV stations in the UK, USA (Fox 19 Morning Show and the Nancy James Show in Ohio) and Australia (Scout TV).

The Anthony Snape back-story

Snape recalls years of school productions, local rock bands and a passion that couldn’t be satisfied in his native Australia. He worked solidly as a session singer for radio, TV and as a backing vocalist. Which culminated in Anthony co-writing and recording the Sydney 2000 Olympic games theme song for the official National Radio Network. He was then invited to perform in the UK where his performance was televised live to an international audience.

Along the way a chance encounter with producers Matt Fell and Lindsay Rimes re-aligned the focus. Laying the foundation for a straight-down-the-line pop-rock record with Anthony’s guitar and vocals, backed by a hot band and a fresh studio sound. Delivering more than just commercial appeal, “Disappearing Day” reveals a depth and maturity that strikes at the heart of the listener.

“I’m energized and inspired by the stage and the people I have met on this journey. As a artist I have so much more to say and there is no better time than now to say it.” –Anthony Snape

It’s that drive that has afforded Snape the chance to get back in the studio. Over the past few months Anthony has been working on a bunch of new tracks, with plans to release in the near future, that’s if they don’t escape first.
