Tony Carey

I read Tony Carey as a musician who refused to be defined by any single role. He earned early fame as Rainbow's keyboardist, but after leaving in 1977 he kept reinventing himself, releasing solo work and the curious Planet P Project alongside producing for others. What draws me to him is that quiet persistence: not the loudest name in rock, yet someone who carried songwriting, piano, and vocals on his own shoulders for decades. Outlasting trends is the hardest test in music, and his willingness to chase his own sound rather than chase the spotlight earns my real respect.
