Tonio K

Steve Krikorian (April 15, 1949 - ) aka Tonio K was born in Palm Desert[?], California.

Krikorian is a singer/songwriter, whose songs have been recorded by Charlie Sexton[?], Bette Midler, Peter Case, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Vanessa Williams, Bonnie Raitt and others.

In 1973, Krikorian began his musical career by appearing as a member of the former Buddy Holly backing band the Crickets on their album "Remnants".

By 1978, Krikorian went solo, adopting the name of Tonio K, possibly a reference to the Thomas Mann novel Tonio Kröger, with Life In The Food Chain.
