• Shenandoah, 
• Brian White, 
• Red Stegal,

 Antonio is also working on a new film that his wife Kyrle Rosales wrote about her Vietnam Vet, Bike riding, good guy -- called I Ride Alone.  

The film is currently in Preproduction with  http://nelsonmadisonfilms.com/ "Songs from both my CD's will be featured in the film as well as I'm performing live in one of the shoots."

Antonio has lived in Oklahoma most of his life and has been playing and singing Country Music for many years now. 

"I've recorded two CDs.   Time's Running Out was cut in Nashville.  It received two # 1's on Indie charts and has won 4 different awards including Country Single Of The Year, Male Rising Star, Duet Of The Year, with/Sylvia Winters, and Male Vocalist Of the Year."

His second CD, Sacrifice To Survival was recorded in Oklahoma City at Studio 7 and is yet to be released.  "Sacrifice To Survival is a song I wrote for abused women and I'm very proud of it.   Two songs, one written by my brother-in-law and one by me are also being used in not only the movie score but the sound track too. 

I Ride Alone (by Kevin Benedec) is the movie theme song while Antonio wrote Far Off Look in his eye. 

"I'm very proud to be from the state of Oklahoma."  He adds.  "Being the president of the OCMA I have the chance to work with many new up and coming artists from this great state.  I believe many of the artists I work with will become stars someday and I only hope  in some small way they remember where they come from."

The OCMA has one of the finest Jubilee's in the state every third Sunday of the Month at the Country Music Hall Of Fame in Del City, OK.  The address is 3925 SE 29th. and it's open to the public from 3:00pm to 6:00pm.
