Antonio (Tony Seibert) - A&R/Producer

Antonio, as he is known to friends and industry associates, was born Anthony Lee Seibert in Tampa, Florida. Growing up in Charlotte, North Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia, Tony's musical journey began at age 8 with his performance in New York's Madison Square Garden as the featured soloist with the International Rotary Boys Choir. While still in high school in Atlanta, he was signed as a recording artist and released several records for Mercury Records. He continued playing music as Tony Lee & The Choppers throughout his college years at Cornell University at Ithaca, New York.

Before leaving the music industry for several years, he was also produced by Felton Jarvis (Elvis Presley's legendary producer) for ABC Paramount Records, by Jimmy Hilton (of Iron Butterfly fame) on Metromedia Records, and sang with Bernie Leadon (founding member of The Eagles) in a folk-oriented duo known as The Appalachians, making several appearances on The Grand Ole Opry at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium.

All of Tony's record releases included material he wrote or co-wrote.

Tony moved to Nashville, Tennessee in the spring of 1997, returning to the music industry to pursue a publishing and songwriting career.

In March 2005, he founded Lightning Records located on Nashville's iconic Music Row.

Lightning Records first releases, in July 2005, include the two-sided single "Have You Seen Me?" and the four-sided EP "Cowgirl Honey", both by dynamic young artist Dee Dee Dillion.

Lightning Records was incorporated into Hansa Worldwide Music Group subsequent to it's founding in June 2005.
