In 2007 he naturalised as a British citizen keeping his Spanish citizenship as well. He started his music education at the age of 4 playing classical guitar, clarinet and piano together with composition studies. With youth orchestras he toured extensively Europe and Spain playing the clarinet and as a guitar soloist. At the age of 14 Toni was awarded ex aequo the coveted St. Joan de Vilatorrada composition prize with the experimental piece “Imatges”, written for flute and piano. At the age of 12 Toni formed his first band, Korrefok, a folk-rock band with progressive rock influences. The band won several local band competitions and got signed to AZ Records under a new name, Herzia. Spain's music magazine Popular 1 said of their debut album “Coses que Passen” (AZ Records 1999): "If there be justice, Herzia's 'Coses Que Passen' should become the most important pop release this year."
