Tony Chris Kazoleas grew up in a small Alberta prairie town called Drayton Valley in 1970. In 1993 he packed his worldly belongings (mainly his guitars and amps plus a few clothes) in his classic Camaro and moved west to Vancouver, aka Hollywood North with less than $500 in his pocket to pursue his acting and music career. He played in a number of hard rock bands in the nineties, including Innocent Fun, Gothica and his own bands, Medicine River and Saint Black which he fronted as lead guitarist and singer.

He leads a dual entertainment career as an entertainer and is an established, international award winning magician and mentalist. Those talents have allowed him to be a magic consultant and magician actor for the movie and television industry including such productions as Taken, Once Upon A Christmas and Haters Back Off, Virgin River  just to name a few.
