A Musical Foundation Built on Experience and Passion

Antosh’s musical career is built on decades of real-world performance. He began playing drums at age six, impressing crowds at local county fairs across Northeast Pennsylvania. By 15, he was already performing professionally and fronting bands. During high school, he led an all-adult band, Shaving Holly, where he honed his frontman presence and built a regional following through sold-out shows and regular gigs.

These formative years laid the groundwork for his acceptance into the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he focused on Guitar Performance and Songwriting—training that elevated his already gifted musicianship to a professional level.
