With technical brilliance and breathtaking musical interpretation, Anthony Bambino has defined himself as a guitarist with unparalleled ability to combine solid, catchy songwriting with a keen melodic sense and technical fury. From his virtuoso rock solos, to laying down intricate rhythm tracks, to his soulful vocals, to writing and producing jingles and film tracks, he has defined himself as a true musician in all aspects of his career.

Anthony's exposure to music began at the early age of 5 yrs old when he started studying classical piano. Around the age of 15 yrs old, Anthony heard Van Halens eruption and decided that guitar was what he wanted to do.
He attended the Hartt School of Music in Hartford, CT, and during this time formed the very successful commercial rock group Spoiled Rotten. A year later the band landed a spec deal with RCA records and went into the studio under producer great Glen Koloktin (who produced classic tracks like Joan Jett's "I Love Rock 'n' Roll, Carlos Santana, Jimi Hendrix, and The Ramones). Halfway through the recording of the album the grunge scene emerged wiping all commercial hard rock off the map. That same year Anthony appeared in Mike Varney's Spotlight Column in Guitar Player Magazine. He also took 2nd place in an international guitar contest hosted by Kramer Guitars, and was offered an endorsement with Kramer Guitars, but had already secured an endorsement deal with ESP Guitars, ADA amplifications, SIT strings, Kahler tremolos, Morley Pedals, and Mesa Boogie amplifications.

After the split of Spoiled Rotten, Anthony went on to work with various artists on recordings as a hired session guitarist, as well as production work on many bands and projects. In 1992 he teamed up with Bassist/Producer Fabrizio V.Zee Grossi and started a production company as well as a priceless collaboration of writing and recording with Fabrizio for years to come. Shortly afterward Anthony and Fabrizio hooked up with Drummer extraordinaire John Macaluso (TNT, Yngwie Malmsteen, George Lynch, Riot) and formed the supergroup Conspiracy. The trio started writing/recording tracks for the album "Groove This". The album sold many units worldwide and still remains on internet radio stations with requests by listeners. It was during this time Anthony performed many clinics for his endorsements.

Upon the release of this monster instrumental album, Anthony received rave reviews in numerous magazines worldwide including Guitar Player, Guitar World, and Hard (Europe's Metal Edge). In 1993 Anthony was the feature attraction at the Winter NAMM Convention for ADA amplifications with his partner in crime Fabrizio Grossi. It was at this NAMM show Anthony was offered an endorsement with Robin Guitars and decided that they were the guitar for him. Currently Anthony is in the studio with his buddy John Macaluso (drummer for past three Yngwie Malmsteen albums and tours, James Le Brie solo project) and is recording a new solo instrumental/vocal album that will be available February 2010, he his also working with a new project HOTT on Lord Alge Productions, and has recently added Orion Guitar Finishing as his newest endorsement who by the way do amazing work (see guitar in photo). Away from music Anthony is an avid martial artists holding a 2nd degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, and a 1st degree black belt in Isshinryu Karate, as well as holding over 135 first place trophies in Mens black belt sparring and weapons on the East Coast. Please be sure to look for his new album out late February and check out his website!
