Tony Mecca IV (born Anthony Meccariello IV) is an indie rock/pop artist originally from Philadelphia, PA, now based in Cherry Hill, NJ. Described as mature, fun, and experimental, Tony?s music is deeply shaped by personal experiences of heartbreak, loss of friendship, and trauma. Inspired early on by Lady Gaga and the performing family and friends around him, Tony began creating music as a child, funnily looping a single lyric at age four and writing & recording his first song by nine. His sound blends theatrical pop influences with emotional storytelling, drawing inspiration from artists like Jensen McRae and Ethel Cain. Tony?s lyrics explore themes of identity, heartbreak, and the complexities of growing up, especially from the perspective of a queer teenager navigating today?s world.
