ARTIST: Tony Ferrari

SONG: If You (Don’t) Need (Me)

BIRTHDATE: January 14, 1992

HOMETOWN: Thousand Oaks, CA

CURRENT LOCATION: Los Angeles, CA

AMBITIONS: Travel the world while spreading love through music. Write songs that people can relate to and listen to in times when they need reassurance.

TURN-OFFS: Inability to hold a conversation. Also, bad breath.

TURN-ONS: Self-confidence. If you believe that you are awesome, you are awesome. Also, someone who can sing and do harmonies with me.

DREAM GIG: Hollywood Bowl as well as Red Rocks Ampitheatre

FAVORITE LYRIC: ‘Unforgettable,’ written by Irvin Gordon, performed by Nat King Cole. One of the most simplistic and beautiful things I’ve heard.

CRAZIEST PERSON I KNOW: Am I allowed to say ‘myself?’ If not, then my sister. I love you, sis. But we are all a little crazy.

SONG I WISH I WROTE: ‘Stay With Me’ by Sam Smith. What a powerhouse. Also, just about every song that Sam Cooke ever performed.

5 PEOPLE I’D MOST LIKE TO HAVE DINNER WITH: Bill Murray. Stevie Wonder. The Gershwin brothers. Sam Cooke. Kate Beckinsale.

MY FAVORITE CONCERT EXPERIENCE: Jason Mraz consistently puts on one of the very best shows I’ve seen. His voice, band, and overall performance is mesmerizing.
