Anthony Martin Harford, (born April 19, 1957) is a heavy metal vocalist best known for his work with Black Sabbath from 1987 to 1991 and again from 1993 to 1997. Martin was the band's longest-serving vocalist other than Ozzy Osbourne.
Martin has since been involved in many other projects (such as the Tony Martin Band, M3, The Alliance, Misha Calvin, The Cage, Giuntini Project II), Phenomena's Psychofantasy album, yet is most remembered for his time in Sabbath, an opportunity he originally was somewhat reluctant to pursue.
Despite performing almost exclusively as a vocalist, Martin is a multi-instrumentalist, stating in an interview that he plays guitar, bass, drums, violin, keyboards, harmonica, bagpipes, and pan pipes . On his 2005 solo album Scream, Tony performed vocals, bass, drums, violin and additional guitar parts.
