ABOUT THE ARTIST

Tony DeSare performs with infectious joy, wry playfulness and robust musicality. Named “Rising Star Male Vocalist” in Downbeat magazine, DeSare has lived up to this distinction by winning critical and popular acclaim for his concert performances throughout North America and abroad. From jazz clubs to Carnegie Hall to Las Vegas and headlining major symphony orchestras, DeSare has brought his fresh take on old school class around the globe. DeSare has four top ten Billboard jazz albums under his belt and has been featured on the CBS Early Show, NPR, A Prairie Home Companion, and the Today Show, and his music has been posted by social media celebrity juggernaut George Takei. DeSare has also collaborated with YouTube supergroup Postmodern Jukebox. He has been a featured guest artist with over 100 symphony orchestras with some highlights including the Cleveland Orchestra, The New York Pops, The San Francisco Symphony, The Houston Symphony, and the Chicago Symphony.

Notwithstanding his critically acclaimed turns as a singer/pianist, DeSare is also an award-winning composer. He not only won first place in the USA Songwriting Contest, but has written the theme song for the motion picture My Date With Drew and several broadcast commercials, and has scored five films. His sound is romantic, swinging, and sensual, but what sets DeSare apart is his ability to write original material that sounds fresh and contemporary, yet pays homage to the Great American Songbook.

Tony has a strong presence on social media and continues to release his “song diaries,” recordings from his home studio that started in 2020 and now number in the 100s. Tony has numerous recordings available on all platforms and playlists.
