BIO
Tony Vst was born in Southern West Virginia to a coal miner's daughter in 1976. He began manipulating sound at age eight with a cheap K acoustic guitar, which had four strings most of the time. His early recordings were done on a Sylvania boom box with a built-in mic. By age twelve, he began utilizing a Yamaha keyboard with built-in mic for fun. At age sixteen, he began learning the art of analog and digital recording and engineering, which allowed him to begin his work doing sessions for several area studios. Tony Vst strives to get a cleaner, clearer recording of the world around him. He has always been fascinated with recording music and finding many ways to achieve excellent tone. If you see him live, most likely he will be playing bass or electric guitar. He prefers to produce/engineer and to mix music.
