Tony, one of SWP’s two composers, is originally from Texas where he garnered a love a for the art of singing, stagecraft, and songwriting. After completing his Master of Music degree at IU in Bloomington, IN, where he pursued a career in opera, Tony switched gears in Los Angeles by working for independent songwriters and accompanying live comedy and indie theater. Eventually, he serendipitously connected with Sam Johnides, and the two have been collaborators ever since. Their most recent collaborations include their original musical Annabella, which ran for two sold-out runs in the LA area; Trump in Space, which ran for two years at the Second City Hollywood; and Bachelor: the Unauthorized Musical Parody which premiered through Right Angle Entertainment in Chicago.
