BIOGRAPHY
If his music could sum Anthony Hed in a nutshell: “graceful, delicate music artistâ€.
Born of Italian descent in France, he falls in love with music while listening to Radiohead during a trip to La Rochelle. It all starts there. The different experiences abroad have built up his world and his identity. Ben Harper, Damien Rice and Steven Wilson are an important piece of this process.
"I write songs that take an ugly turn".
Anthony Hed is a man who walks forward but with eyes in the back of his head. They stop at the first look of the acoustic guitar instrument during his studies in Thessaloniki (Greece) and relive months of busking the streets of Cork (Ireland).
Anthony Hed tells stories of a past without a real home, from France, Italy, to Greece and Ireland. Loneliness. And while spending the days in a suit and tie, he then had the urge to find those colors and shades, the sounds he was losing sight of, giving up the job as a Sales Manager and devoting himself entirely to songwriting, busking and live events.
At the end of 2017 he announced his first EP "Many Faces" Self-produced. A personal Popfolk with rock nuances, anticipated by the singles "Monomania and Many Faces" entered in the "Indie Music Like - MEI", the Italian independent radio ratings.
Mescalina writes about "Many Faces": If you love getting lost in sudden emotions and you like persuasive voices this EP is absolutely for you.
In 2018 through the French National Competition "Music City Tour", he plays abroad in several venues in Geneva, Lille and participates, as first classified by the jury, in the final competition in Paris.
Today in Milan, he prepares the release of his first album "The Light", characterized by an elegant songwriting and the mellow voice of Anthony. All with the artistic collaboration of Giovanni Ghioldi (Artistic producer and arrangement) and the precious contribution of the famous American keyboardist Derek Sherinian “Planet X, Ex- Kiss, Ex- Dream Theater" as a special Guest.
