Anthony Robustelli is the epitome of a born musician. Though his primary instrument is keyboards, he is truly a multi-instrumentalist. Following his 2004 east coast tour in support of his independent release, Grown Tired of the Con , Anthony was asked to join the politically conscious and relentlessly touring band, Spearhead.

After two years on the road with Spearhead Anthony returned to Brooklyn and put the finishing touches on his fourth album, Another Fatal Blow, released last year. Since its release Anthony recorded a new album, welcome to..., with side project planetJABR and spent three weeks in St. Barths perfecting their sound.

In addition to his solo work and his work with Spearhead, Anthony has a number of tours and collaborations to his credit with artists including Bo Diddley, Kelly Price, Brian Jackson, and The Jungle Brothers. He has also opened for such groups as The Meters and The Charlie Hunter Trio. His musical style, which he describes as "Stevie Wonder meets Steely Dan" has gained him a varied fan base which includes such notables as famed New York City DJ Funkmaster Flex and indie film actor Peter Stromare ("Fargo," "Minority Report," "The Big Lebowski").  

Anthony is a prolific writer who, in addition to Another Fatal Blow, has three prior albums to his credit, Grown Tired of the Con , Comfort is so Rare and a six-movement straight-ahead jazz suite, entitled Travels of a Lost Soul . He also co-wrote the score for the independent film " Hitman's Handbook ", the award-winning PBS documentary " Off the Curb " and split musical duties with jazz saxophonist extraordinaire Gary Bartz on the soundtrack for the critically acclaimed film " Get Faamous. " When not on the road, he presides over Shady Bear Productions, his multi-faceted recording facility based in Brooklyn.  

Anthony has a Bachelor's Degree in Jazz Performance and a Master's in Music Education from New York University.
