Tony Mantor is an established and successful American singer-songwriter, pianist, podcast host and record-charting music producer who is celebrating working in Nashville for more than 30 years. A classically trained pianist at heart since he was eight years old, Tony’s musical journey began in the late 70’s just outside of Madison, Maine where he was born and raised on a dairy farm. Musically inspired by iconic artists like Elvis Presley, Cher and Karen Carpenter, Tony’s piano skills evolved into him writing and performing his own songs. Both as a solo artist and in rock bands throughout his teens and early twenties in his home state of Maine and New England, Tony found a peaceful refuge in music which became his life’s calling.

His 2021 single release of his song called “Why Not Me” is one example of how he is doing just that. Taking the song’s namesake and meaning behind it, Tony is preparing to launch a new podcast called “Why Not Me the World” in June 2023 which will focus on topics about Autism awareness, acceptance and understanding. The podcast will feature guest interviews between Tony and celebrities who Autism has touched, other subject matter experts in the field of study, and parents who have or are currently raising autistic children.
