About Anton

Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, Anton is a Classical Crossover Tenor, songwriter, composer, producer and director who has worked worldwide and has already performed for the Royal Family since 1995.

Anton’s music and vocal training started at a young age, singing in the provincial choirs as well as performing solo performances at the county Eisteddfods. He learned to play the piano, flute and trumpet as well as being captain of his schools Glee Club. He furthered this training at tertiary level, training in Bel-Canto technique at both the University of Port Elizabeth with Professor Erna Mayer and the University of Stellenbosch under André Howard. He furthered his stage craft in acting and movement at Stageworld Performing Arts School under Marlene Pietersen and he furthermore advanced his musical studies in the UK, undertaking master classes in vocal technique with Daniele Guerra at the Royal College of Music. Determined to have a strong academic foundation in addition to his musical inclination, he also graduated from the University of Port Elizabeth (NNMU) with a law degree in 2000.

He was very fortunate to perform for Queen Elizabeth II and President Nelson Mandela  as soloist of the University choir on Her Majesties’ Royal Visit to South Africa in 1995, post the apartheid regime.

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Anthem

In 2021, Anton was commissioned by The British Monarchists Society as part of their yearlong celebratory programme for the Platinum Jubilee. The Anthem is designed as one historical and outstanding tribute, a true musical representation of Her Majesty’s 70 years of service to her people around the globe.
