Mini bio

How it started.

Tony grew up in a musical family from Rishikesh. After moving to Delhi, he and his sisters Sonu and Neha sang bhajans at jagratas to help support their parents. He moved to Mumbai with Neha in 2004, learned the technical side of composition and made demo CDs.

Finding his songs.

Apple Music lists Mr. Bhatti on Chutti in 2012 as his music-directing debut. His breakthrough composition was “Sawan Aaya Hai,” sung by Arijit Singh for Creature 3D in 2014. He followed it with the Punjabi single “Akhiyan,” featuring Neha Kakkar and Bohemia, in 2015.

A voice of his own.

For Fever, director Rajeev Jhaveri encouraged Tony to keep his own vocals on “Mile Ho Tum” after hearing the demo. His catalogue now includes romantic songs, dance singles and film work, with “Dheeme Dheeme” and “Coca Cola” among his best-known tracks.
