Tony Stamp
Tony Stamp’s radio career started at Auckland’s 95bFM, hosting a variety of specialist shows that spotlighted new music.
He produced and hosted three seasons of the NZ On Air-funded series Inside Track, and True Fan, both of which focused on local music and its surrounding ecosystem and played nationwide on the Student Radio Network.
There were a few amusing detours along the way - he wrote and co-presented a science fiction film show for Sky TV, and for a while was an agony uncle on TVNZ’s U-Live (and later U-Late).
Tony started contributing to Music 101 in 2007 and has kept a foot in the door ever since, creating long-form documentaries and features, interviewing artists, and discussing new music on The Sampler.
In 2022 Tony won the inaugural NZ On Air Outstanding Music Journalism Award for his work creating long-form music documentaries and features, interviewing artists, and his music reviewing for The Sampler.
