Tony Mecca IV (born Anthony Meccariello IV) is an indie rock/pop artist from South 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, friendship loss, trauma and being a queer teen. Inspired early on by <a href="spotify:artist:1HY2Jd0NmPuamShAr6KMms" data-name="Lady Gaga">Lady Gaga</a> 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 <a href="spotify:artist:11dABkjSoOjcP9p3TFSNRj" data-name="Jensen McRae">Jensen McRae</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:0avMDS4HyoCEP6RqZJWpY2" data-name="Ethel Cain">Ethel Cain</a>. Tony’s lyrics In a defining moment of artistic growth, Tony made the difficult decision to delete earlier music and projects that no longer represented him or his evolving sound. This act of shedding the past paved the way for the creation of his 2025 album, bury the grudge, which is split into two acts: the first focuses on forgiving his childhood self for past mistakes, while the second tells the truth about personal situations with others and explores forgiveness when it feels right. Tony hopes listeners remember that he is an amateur musician who creates all his work independently from his bedroom, without studios or producers — a fact that has often been overlooked or misunderstood. Proud of his growth and authenticity, Tony’s dream is to become an award-winning, touring artist who shares his story and sound with audiences worldwide.
