Bio from www.AnthonyRankin.com:

My name is Anthony Rankin. This is my story.

I’ve been experimenting with music in some shape or form since sitting nervously behind a piano at four years old, but found it to be my true calling once I gripped my first electric guitar at age eight and never looked back (exposure to a couple of Prince records did nothing to deter my enthusiasm – we both have a Napoleon complex).

Between then and now, I’ve written a lot of songs (some good, some not-so-good, two that got played on a local radio station); performed those songs hundreds of times in my hometown, and occasionally in a cool city like Philadelphia or Los Angeles; self-released a handful of records; sold a few thousand copies of those records; made a hip music video with my band for a song from one of those records; and got a bit of press in the local papers (and even a blog or two) along the way.

Since I was sixteen, I’ve straddled the fences between rock and R&B, pop and funk, metal and jazz… when it comes to being an artist, I still can’t sit still in one place for too long, but most music critics would probably label my sound as generally being “pop/rock with a funk undercurrent” or something like that. Like Maroon 5, but if Richie Sambora was the guitar player (no offense, James Valentine).
