Tony Michael was born in Brooklyn, New York. At the early age of 4, his biological father deserted the family leaving Tony to grow up without a father figure. His Grandfather helped raise Tony, but granddad was very strict and you could say rather old-style Italian traditional. When asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, Tony said, “a boxer, a priest, a detective and a singer.” Each of these titles were accomplished, with the exception of the priest. However, Tony did become a Christian pastor and established youth homes for abused, neglected, abandoned, and troubled youth.
Tony founded the Chapel of Hope Ministries and for 13 years he and the love of his life, MaLinda, housed and counseled abused, troubled, neglected and abandoned children. He and his wife ministered to over 400 youth from all walks of life utilizing bible principles and music therapy. It all abruptly ended as the church was set on fire and burned to the ground. He continued to press on and often stated "There are no losers in life, just quitters". So with that It was no surprise that in 2021 Tony was recognized and awarded the 2021 American Christian Patriot of the Year award. For his work as a Pastor, through scripture and music to children and broken families from all over the country.
Tony Michael is on the rise again with his new Christian song, "You are the one true reason for my life." Stay tuned!
