Antonio was named the 2023 Roots/Canadiana Artist at the BC Country Music Awards. In 2022, he was also nominated for two BCCMA awards “Roots Artist of The Year” and the “Ray McCauley Emerging Artist”.
His popular single “Hard Days” was written by Larosa and Producer Nygel Asselin (Half Moon Run) and mixed & mastered by CCMA & Juno Award-Winning Canadian producer Jeff Dalziel. “Hard Days” has been added to over 3 editorial country playlists and has hit over 190k streams and continues to grow on Spotify.
