Tony Choy is an American bass guitar player. He was a session musician for some well-known death metal bands such as Atheist, Cynic and the Dutch Pestilence. His playing is very jazz-oriented and he has provided a lot of new ideas for metal bass lines. He is one of the few bass players in metal that used extensively the Slap & Pop playing technique, along with two-handed tapping.

Nowadays he sings and plays bass in a Latin pop group named Area 305.

In 2004 Tony Choy was nominated for a Latin Grammy award. He also has reached top 5 on the Billboard charts several times with several acts and himself as a solo artist. Tony Choy still resides in Miami, Florida, where he has a very successful production company by the name of Achoymusic and is also launching his first publishing company by the name of Achoymusic Publishing, licensed by B.M.I.
