Antonio Carmine Di bartolomeo was born in Wexham park hospital in Slough, near Maidenhead (UK) on April 27th 1964 (and not in Italy in 1967 as sometimes mentioned), from Italian immigrants. He used to be a plumber or a bathroom salesman (depending on sources) before beginning his artistic career. In 1994 he teamed up with the 2 British eurodance producers Adam Blisset and Mark Drayton and he realesed his first single, an euro-trance / progressive track entitled The Real Thing which became a hit instantly. It reached #1 in UK, #8 in Israel, #5 in the European official singles chart, #19 in the US chart (which is a huge succes for an Eurodance track). After that he released second single, Do It which arrived #7 in UK, #19 in Israel and #5 in Ireland.

In 1995, he released the single Why Did Ya, which came to #17 in Israel, #24 in UK and #20 in Romania. Then came Turn Your Love Around in 1996 (which was remixed by 2 Brothers team, adding some backing vocals of Des'ray). After that he released his long-awaited album entitled Tony Di Bart which sold 50 000 copies world wide. It contained a CD bonus containing some remixes. Another version of the album was released without the second CD, under the name since of Falling For You.

In 1995 he recorded with Joe Taffi the excellent eurodance Show Me, with a sound reminding a little of Haddaway. The single was co-written by Franco Diaferia, released under the label Circus. The song, in Italo-dance style, reached #1 in Israel, Italy and Spain. Joe Taff's sister is nowadays Tony's wife.
