Tony Martin (musician)

Anthony Martin Harford (born 19 April 1957), better known by his stage name Tony Martin, is a heavy metal vocalist best known for his work with Black Sabbath from 1987 to 1991 and again from 1993 to 1997. Martin was the band's second longest serving vocalist after Ozzy Osbourne. Martin has since been involved in many other projects (such as the Tony Martin Band, M3, The Alliance, Misha Calvin, The Cage, Giuntini Project II, Phenomena's Psychofantasy album), yet is most remembered for his time in Black Sabbath, an opportunity he originally was somewhat reluctant to pursue.

Despite performing almost exclusively as a vocalist, Martin is a multi-instrumentalist, stating in that he plays guitar, bass, drums, violin, keyboards, harmonica, bagpipes, and pan pipes. On his 2005 solo album Scream, Martin performed vocals, bass, drums, violin and additional guitar parts.
