Anthony Krizan, CC’s well respected guitarist/producer and right hand man, first gained notoriety in the 90's as a member of the Spin Doctors. Anthony’s love for music began at 8 years old, playing drums. By the time he reached 11, he was booking gigs and playing shows. When in 1994, he was approached to audition for the Spin Doctors, he was already a local celebrity and an accomplished producer in his own right. Joining the Spin Doctors, he toured with the iconic Rolling Stones. You can hear him on You Gotta Believe in Something (featuring songs he co-wrote) and Spin Doctors: Just Go Ahead Now: A Retrospective. They also recorded a track for the 90’s Blockbuster film, “Space Jam”. He and Chris Barron also wrote Miss America for Howard Stern.
Anthony’s collaborations didn’t end with the Spin Doctors. He’s written for Lenny Kravitz (Stand By My Woman) , John Waite ( When You Were Mine, Temple Bar, Hard Way, Downtown: Journey of A Heart) and Amfibian (Skip The Goodbyes), to name a few
He’s toured and performed with Noel Redding (of the Jimi Hendrix experience) until his death in 2003. His Sonic Boom Studio in Raritan, NJ is always abuzz with the newest up and coming musicians, and under his production, soon to be musical powerhouses.
It was in that studio, that CC Coletti’s Woodstock Lane was born. Anthony’s vision allowed CC to do what she does best, keep listeners on the edge of their seats with soulful, powerful vocals. A reviewer was quoted saying “Anthony Krizan is the Jimmy Page to CC Coletti’s Robert Plant”. Seeing the collaboration that bore Woodstock Lane, that’s a hard statement to refute.
Anthony Krizan is considered by many record industry executives to be one of the top music producers and songwriters in the music business today
Anthony has written and produced a number of hit songs on albums that have sold in excess of 40 million copies worlwide.
