Tony Lauria: Masterful Multi-Instrumentalist, Composer, and Performer

Tony Lauria is a prolific multi-instrumentalist, composer, and performer with an extraordinary gift for creating deeply moving and serene music. With an impressive catalog of eleven albums featuring original compositions, Tony is a true musical craftsman, producing, performing, and engineering virtually every aspect of the recording process.

Born in Ohio, Tony’s passion for music ignited at the remarkable age of four. From his earliest years, his talent and drive set him apart, leading him to study with esteemed musicians who helped shape his distinctive signature style. As a young artist, he was drawn to a wide spectrum of musical influences. Frequenting concerts at the legendary Severance Hall, he absorbed the classical magic of The Cleveland Orchestra while simultaneously exploring the vast landscape of other musical genres.

Seeking inspiration in the natural world, Tony relocated to the serene Sierra Nevada mountains of California, where he continued refining his craft. He became deeply involved in the theatrical arts, composing and performing in several original productions, while also acting and singing in over a dozen plays and musicals.

Over time, Tony’s passion evolved into composing instrumental music that resonates with listeners on a profound level. His signature sound—a fusion of exquisite piano melodies with the warm, ethereal tones of orchestral instruments—has culminated in eight albums of beautifully crafted, mood-enhancing compositions. His music is often categorized as New Age, yet it transcends labels, serving as a soothing companion for meditation, healing, relaxation, learning, road trips, and personal reflection.

Listeners consistently praise the emotional depth and transformative power of Tony’s work. One such review encapsulates the impact of his music:

"I am totally impressed with the beauty, warmth, and moodiness of your songs. I look forward to spending more time with this music—listening to it when I am in my car or any time, really. I have a feeling it will contribute to settling my mood and my soul. These are deep and beautiful songs and soundtracks that contain the melodic sincerity to enhance life and daily existence."

Recently, Tony has expanded his creative vision by composing soundtracks for documentaries, pairing his evocative music with breathtaking aerial drone footage of nature’s most magical landscapes. This synergy of sound and imagery captures the essence of his artistry—transporting audiences to a place of peace, beauty, and introspection.

Now residing in the picturesque Sierra Mountain Foothills, Tony shares his life with his soul mate, Lauren, while continuing to explore the depths of his musical expression. Though his musical journey began with the guitar, the piano has become his primary instrument for weaving intricate, soul-stirring compositions. His work speaks directly to the heart, offering comfort, healing, and serenity to all who listen.

Tony Lauria’s artistic mission is clear: to create music that soothes, inspires, and enriches the lives of his listeners. With each composition, he paints an auditory landscape that resonates long after the final note has played.
