Born Anthony Peter Biuso in Queens, New York City on August 19, 1970. Anthony attended a Catholic elementary school in Long Island and lists his hometown as Wantagh, New York. As a kid he studied Jazz, Dixieland and later in High school Marching band. As a senior he was asked to join the Long Island Youth Orchestra as a snare and tympani player. Anthony's biggest influence came when he first heard Led Zeppelin's John Bonham as well as Billy Joel's Liberty Devitto and Kiss's Peter Criss, In an Interview he said “I can remember seeing Kiss in 1980 and coming home crying because I wanted to be Peter Criss so badly.” In 1988, after growing up and previously studying music and percussion at the "Long Island Drum Center", he decided to move to Southern California and pursue his dream of becoming a full-fledged rock star. Entering the music scene in L.A. he met many like minded musicians and eventually enrolled into the Musicians Institute in Hollywood earning him the nickname "Tiny Bubz".
