Hi. I'm singer/songwriter Tony Bataska. I've loved all kinds of music all my life. I started
early with a few years of piano lessons. When I moved to California in seventh grade,
I got into the alternative/grunge music scene. The first CD I ever owned was Stone Temple Pilots "Purple."
In eighth grade my friends were starting a band. They had three guitar players and a drummer.
They told me, "If you learn to play bass, you can be in the band."
