Member of the world famous boy band Blue, Anthony Costa is a singer, songwriter and actor. An icon of British pop culture, Costa has provided the soundtrack to a generation and continues to be a prominent figure in the music industry. At events he is known for sharing entertaining after dinner speeches, with all the insider details of the life of a star, and can even perform some of his chart topping hits.
In the year 2000, Costa joined forces with three of his friends and fellow musicians to form the band Blue, which proved to be a life changing decision for the quartet who instantly rose to pop stardom. With hits like ‘All Rise’ which reached number four on the UK Official Chart, and ‘Too Close’ which reached number one, it’s no surprise that the R&B inspired singles are still floor fillers at clubs, events and parties to this day. As a vocalist for the band, Costa’s musicality and natural talent played a pivotal role in all three of the band’s albums reaching number one in the UK Album Charts.
Since enjoying a high profile musical career with Blue, Costa took a brief break from the group to focus on his solo ventures. Already having gained experience as an actor when he was growing up, Costa returned to the small screen to star in a number of episodes of popular series like Casualty. Naturally, Costa’s individual profile rose and he became highly in demand to star as himself due to his cheeky-chappy personality and celebrity status. In 2005, Costa was a contestant on the popular reality programme ‘I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!’ which further gained him a huge fan following, and he appeared on Dancing on Ice as a judge, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and in a number of pantomimes.
Most recently, Costa has once again joined forces with his former bandmates due to much fan demand. Taking to the stage to represent the UK, Blue made their comeback as the country’s chance to win Eurovision Song Contest in 2011, which also prompted a one off documentary ‘Eurovision: Your Country Needs Blue’. With their fame and fan base reignited, Costa & Blue announced that they would be appearing on ITV’s The Big Reunion and have since gone on to complete a UK wide tour.
A famous singer, song writer with his own platform as well as his loyal fan base within Blue, Antony Costa is the ideal addition to any event as he is loved across generations and audiences. Able to entertain, give behind the scenes details of his popstar lifestyle and hold the attention of the entire room, Costa will elevate your occasion to the next level.
