Tony Mortimer

Tony Mortimer (born Anthony Michael Mortimer, 21 October 1970, Stepney, London) is a British songwriter, composer and singer. He was a member of the 1990s, UK chart-topping boy band, East 17, with whom he enjoyed seven Top 10 singles and four hit albums between 1992 and 1997. He turned to songwriting when the group disbanded in 1997, in the wake of fellow member Brian Harvey's controversial comments about Ecstasy.

Mortimer won an Ivor Novello Award as songwriter of the year for "Stay Another Day", which remains a popular favourite at Christmas time. [http://www.bbc.co.uk/essex/content/articles/2006/08/02/tony_mortimer_feature.shtml]

Since 1997, Mortimer has attempted to create two new bands, the most significant being Sub Zero, created with Scottish vocalist, Jinky "JJ" Gilmour, (ex-The Silencers) and two other friends. An album was recorded and record deals were in the works, but the members agreed that the project did not seem to fit and disbanded.

In 1998, Mortimer's East 17 bandmates briefly reformed the group without him, and released two singles as E17. They disbanded again the following year.

Mortimer has continued to function as a record producer since 1997, from his studio in Essex, as well as recording his own songs.

Mortimer has two daughters, called Ocean and Atlanta.
