Similar to blues child prodigy Joe Bonamassa, Anthony Wild started playing music at the age of five. At this tender age his initial focus was primarily a drum set and vocals. At seven years-old he began performing with local bands. At the age of twelve his family moved to Florida to reside during the winters where he worked with musicians from all over the central Florida area. During this period and just after he turned fifteen, he met producer and studio owner Mel Barlow of Waxx Wing Recording Studios in Leesburg, Florida. Anthony promptly recorded the song Pinky written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. The single received significant airplay in 1978.
Anthony Wild had many great opportunities as a senior working with his Leesburg High School choral director (Doris Wallace). This led to him performing at Disney World alongside Rock Hudson and many other stars.
In the coming years of his youth he continued to perfect his musical craft. In 1999 he started working with Kingsnake Recording Studio musicians and released two albums (Knockin’ on My Back Door and All Night Long). During this time he had the opportunity to perform with The Doors guitarist Robbie Kreger and open for many acts such as Rick Derringer, Edgar Winter, The Georgia Satellites, Jimmy Van Zant, Bret Michaels, Quite Riot, Uncle Kracker, and Tracy Lawrence, among others.
In 2010, after a ten-year hiatus from recording, Anthony Wild returned to the studio and recorded the album The Wind in My Face. The new recording led to a big buzz within blues music industry circles and more than 25 articles and reviews.
Anthony Wild is about to wrap up a jazz album called Cocktails at Five on Moon River that will be released in late 2011 or early 2012. He is working with Gil DuBois and producer Aaron “Pop” Watson on this project. He also fronts a veteran blues band (Anthony Wild and the Suspects) and is performing in nightclubs, and at festivals, fairs, colleges and universities, and music series.
