WHO IS TONY SUCCAR?
Antonio Guillermo Succar Tayrako was born on May 18, 1986 in Lima and became a percussionist, composer, arranger and record producer. At just 35 years old, he has ventured into music until he achieved two Latin Grammys in 2019.
When he was two years old, he immigrated to Miami, United States, with his family. At the age of 3, he began playing at The Peruvian Cajon thanks to the fact that he came from a family of musicians. When he turned 13, he started playing drums in his parents' band.
The Peruvian musician, with American nationality and Japanese ancestry, accompanied his parents in different performances such as weddings and private events. This made him fall more and more in love with music.
In 2020, she released her version of Pedro Suárez-Vértiz's “When You Think Back”, in collaboration with Daniela Darcourt, Ezio Oliva, Christian Yaipén, Bartola, among others, with the aim of promoting tourism in Peru.
In January 2021, he was announced as a jury in Yo Soy and in August, he continues in Latina with his participation as a coach in La Voz Senior.
YOUR STUDIES
Tony Succar thought about becoming a professional football player as a teenager. He was on several teams until he won his school's state championship. Although he sought a scholarship to dedicate himself to sports, he did not get a response.
After that, he went to his father for advice and he told him to try to enter the FIU Music School. His musical education began with drums, piano and then came to percussion.
In 2008, she earned her bachelor's degree in jazz-performance from Florida International University and continued studying for a master's degree until 2010.
CARRERA MUSICAL
Since he was an undergraduate student, Tony Succar already had an active music career. While in college, he assumed the position of director in the family band which he renamed Mixtura.
In 2010, she released her first album that was recorded at her graduation recital. A live concert with Mixtura at the Wertheim Performing Arts Center in Miami.
Tony's path has taken him to the world of salsa, jazz/pop, and Afro-Latin-inspired music. In addition, he has been able to work with several artists such as Tito Nieves, Marc Anthony, La India, Obie Bermudez, among others.
In 2015, he created the collaborative project Unity: The Latin Tribute to Michael Jackson. It was released at the Olympia Theater in Miami sponsored by Universal Music Classic. Unity presented more than 100 musicians for the tribute to the King of Pop.
In 2019, he won two Latin Grammys as Producer of the Year and Best Salsa Album for the album “Más de mi”, making history as the youngest winner to have won both categories.
PRE-GALA EMOTIONS
In an exclusive interview with Infobae, the two-time Latin Grammy winner pointed out that he does not have a speech prepared in case of winning the trophy and that he does not have a speech prepared either will do a good luck ritual. Instead, he will spend it with his parents and brother, with whom he traveled to the United States to attend the ceremony.
“I don't have a ritual so to speak, but I always try to put myself in a positive mind. I try to make myself aware that I am there (at the Grammys) and winning. Put me in that vibe in the positive and that is already happening. However, sometimes it doesn't work, but sometimes it does like in 2019 when I was a double winner at the Latin Grammys. Positive mind! ”, he said.
He was also proud to be the only Peruvian nominee: “I am honored that I can represent my country and I am lucky to be Peruvian. Being Peruvian is the best, we have everything and I am proud to represent my country. I'm never going to stop, I'm always going to make good music representing my Peru,” he said.
“All Peru's support is immense. I would tell all the fans that Peru is present at the Grammys. Let's go Peru! , we are going to continue making art and we are growing. Let's go forward Peru!” , he added.
