Biography

edit

Born Stanislav Tonne in 1975 in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, he is of Jewish and German ancestry.[7] He took up the guitar at the age of eight and started to study classical music at the local music school. After his family moved to Israel in 1990, Tonne stopped playing for eleven years.[8] In September 2001, he moved to New York City[8] and resumed playing the guitar in a duo with violinist and street musician Michael Shulman. He eventually began to travel as a solo musician and has since performed around the world, as well as playing at street, yoga, art, or other festivals.

Throughout his musical career, Tonne has collaborated with a number of notable musicians, including Michael Shrieve.[9][10] He has performed at numerous distinguished venues, including the Royal Theater Carré in Amsterdam,[11] the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center in New York City,[12] Union Chapel in London,[13] and the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.[14]
