Tony Bongiovi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tony Bongiovi is a record producer and recording engineer. He helped to remodel an old building in Manhattan -- once a power plant for Edison, and later a television studio -- into the Power Station recording studio in 1977.
He has produced records by Talking Heads, Aerosmith (Classics Live) and Ramones (Rocket to Russia), CHIC and many more. Early in his career, as an engineer, he worked the console for a number of sessions with Jimi Hendrix, as well as some of Hendrix's posthumous releases under producer Alan Douglas.
He is the cousin of Jon Bon Jovi, and helped his cousin in his early career by producing early demo recordings and paying for singing lessons. An album, John Bongiovi: The Power Station Years was released in 1999, featuring Tony Bongiovi's early recordings of Jon, before he changed the spelling of his name.
Tony is the director of the music video Who Says You Can't Go Home.
