Rek Anthony was born in England, and immigrated to the United States in the late 1980’s.

Coming from a background rooted in NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal), Rek Anthony has had plenty of experience singing Bruce Dickinson’s songs as a former singer and song writer for the British heavy metal band SAMSON. Rek wrote and sang several songs for two Samson CD’s: Past, Present and Future, and Tomorrow and Yesterday as part of the band’s twenty year reunion. Rek also had the opportunity to perform many of Bruce’s songs while on the road with Paul Samson, and he attributes Bruce Dickinson among other great singers, as a major influence in developing his own vocal style.
