Tony Michaelides Biography 2010

Blogs: Speak Music TV and Insights from the Engine Room

With an irrefutable reputation achieved over thirty-plus years working with a stellar cast of clients it is not for nothing that U2’s manager, Paul McGuinness has said, “Tony Michaelides has long been one of the UK’s foremost record promoters and undoubtedly one of the finest U2 has had the pleasure of working with.”

His artist roster alone has sold in excess of a billion records and reads like a who’s who in the music industry. Tony worked with everyone from The Police and Genesis, to Bob Marley and REM, New Order and The Stone Roses to Matchbox twenty and Dave Matthews. Elvis Costello and Annie Lennox to Peter Gabriel and Massive Attack. He also collaborated with the two Simons, Cowell and Fuller for many years.

Driven to share his passion for music and its industry, Tony produced and presented his own radio show for nearly fifteen years. However, one of his proudest moments was being asked to be David Bowie’s publicist for his ‘Earthling’ tour. He had been a fan all his life.

As the new millennium dawned the music industry changed. When Tony could no longer do it the way he wanted to do it he didn’t want to do it at all. A move to the USA beckoned with the awarded distinction of an ‘Alien of Extraordinary Ability’. Flattered and amused, Tony had his Green Card!

The US Government bestows such recognition as ‘-“ a high level of achievement in the field of the arts evidence by a degree of skill and recognition substantially above the ordinarily encountered to the extent that a person described as prominent is renowned, leading, or well known in the field of arts.  Extraordinary ability means a level of expertise indicating that the person is one of the small percentage who has risen to the very top of the field of endeavor. ‘

Throughout his extraordinary career Tony remained true to himself, never lost his integrity and his reputation – and never lost his sense of humor! Ask Tony and he’ll tell you he’s still a kid from Manchester in the north of England who’d never lost ‘ordinary.’ He also never lost passionate and excitable.

In his book ‘Insights from the Engine Room, Lessons Learned From Rock n Roll,’ Tony tells the stories and shares his life lessons so others can learn what he had learned. After ‘the adventure of a lifetime’ Tony now puts his unique talents to mentoring, consulting, public speaking and a return to radio.
