Antonio met Grapes, his first Imaginary Friend, in 1982. Grapes and Antonio had several adventures together. They shared secrets, sang songs and Grapes always had a chair at the dinner table. 

Sadly, Antonio grew up, got a degree, found a corporate job and forgot about Grapes. 

Then one day, Antonio felt low. Climbing corporate culture and recovering from an embattled relationship shifted his heart. Looking for a reprieve, Antonio rediscovered his love of music. He longed to smile and yearned for others to do the same. He wrote songs focused on hope, love, and understanding. 

As time moved on, Antonio’s found others who wanted to join the fun! The Imaginary Friends became a home for misfits, outsiders and the iconoclasts.

Today, Oh Antonio And His Imaginary Friends share joy with everyone they meet. Collectively, the Imaginary Friends pen self-aware chamber pop songs shaped by sax, flugelhorn, trumpet, violin, viola, keys, guitar, bass, drums, percussion, and lush harmonious vocals that will have you singing along before the song is over. Your hips will move. Your heart will smile.  The Imaginary Friends pull influences from Buddy Holly, Belle and Sebastian, Elvis Costello, The E Street Band to Billy Joel, David Bowie, and The Cure to name a few!
