antonius

My name is Antonius Anand Nazareth, and I’m an Indian/German musician and writer based out of Los Angeles.

I was born in Verona, Italy, into a family of musicians. my father was the noted Indian conductor, Daniel Nazareth, and my mother, Wiebke, a talented operatic singer. I began training as a concert pianist at age 7 and was lucky enough to learn from the most brilliant teachers all over Europe; from Monte Carlo, to Rome, to Vienna, to Amsterdam, to Freiburg, and to Hamburg before moving to New York City. 

It was only when I arrived in NYC that I started composing my own music. I attended Manhattan School of Music for piano performance and music composition, and then NYU for music composition. Following this, I turned to a new project: AVbyte

“AVbyte" (youtube.com/AVbyte), is a youtube channel on which I created short musical comedy videos that have collectively garnered close to two billion views and over a million subscribers, with many of the songs addressing and commenting on pop-culture and internet-culture.

I also created, wrote and composed the music for a show on the CW Network called "How To Be a Vampire", which is available to stream on www.cwseed.com 

Having served as assistant conductor to my late father, I am currently pursuing conducting along side various projects with the goal of bringing music to all.
