After graduating from the Talent Development Program (supported by board members Alan Jones, John Forman, Mary Lopez with many other Australian artists such as Human Nature) at the Sydney Entertainment Centre; Anthony worked solidly and uncredited as a backing vocalist for many well known Australian artists. He also worked as a session singer for Australia's major radio network 2UE between 1999-2004 and started his own pop rock band playing all along the east coast. This culminated in Anthony co-writing and recording the Sydney 2000 Olympic games theme song for the Radio 2UE and winning the first John Laws Rising Star competition with his song, Idiosyncrasy.   Anthony's an authentic independent artist. You've heard the word independent used before in music marketing campaigns by record labels trying to make their bands sound cool. But these bands usually have a huge marketing team and a lot of capital invested in their careers before they play a note. Anthony is different. He's part of a new wave of artists that are real. Real in the way that you can feel the hairs rising on your arms when you hear them play. So real that they will come to your house and play for you in person and make you laugh, cry, smile and dance. Anthony decided early in his career to find his audience by playing for them, sharing his music online and in live intimate environments. He loves to create real connections and emotional exchange through his songs. As a result, Anthony's fans are some of the most passionate, strong and independent people on the planet. They allow themselves to really listen to the music because they understand that glossy magazines and reality TV shows don't need to tell them what to listen to or what is valuable. Anthony Snape is an artist 100% booked by, marketed by and loved by his fans. When was the last time you really heard something real?   Recently Anthony ran his first Kickstarter campaign and invited fans to get involved with his new record project. In 30 days they raised over $26,000. Anthony is currently licensing his new record, Resonate, produced in the US by Andy Hunt (Good Charlotte, Smash Mouth, Jars of Clay, Olivia Newton-John, Drew Holcomb the Neighbors).
