Since its introduction in January of 2009, Taste of Music has proven that it’s not a cooking show, it’s a show that cooks!
While teaming up with famous musicians and band members from all genres of music, the show boasts an incredible technical staff of writers, photographers, videographers, pre and post production editors and a well-known host from all walks of the music industry, Tony Proffitt. In addition to his 18- years of radio hosting, programming, music promotions and production entrepreneurship throughout the Southeastern United States, Tony is also the creator of this unique and artistic show.
Anthony came up with the concept several years ago during a radio interview with Nickelback’s lead singer, Chad Kroger. During the interview, Chad asked “Do you mind if I eat?” Tony laughs and responds, “Lets cook it up!” The next thing you know they end up talking more about the Pierogies Chad had made than the music itself. The rest you can say…is history!
Since that historical moment of clarity, Tony came up with the concept of Taste of Music. The first episode featured Nonpoint’s Elias Soriano. This episode was filmed with a hand held video camera and a few friends helped to edit it. A few more joined the team and by the fourth episode with Theory of a Deadman this idea, was slowly becoming a reality. Mandi Dixon soon agreed to partner with Anthony on the idea and together they have built a solid Taste of Music crew.
With many more episodes filmed and produced, critics are calling it “The most innovative and captivating reality show of the new decade!” While it shares the passion of music and food preparation with its viewers, Taste of Music is much more. All people from all walks of life are invited to experience not only different tastes in food and music, but learn new techniques in different styles of cooking while learning the reasons an artist’s chooses to eat and prepare some of the things they showcase. Artists bring along their favorite ingredients, utensils, beverages, etc which opens up big opportunities for those looking for “just the right” touches to add to their meals and presentations.
Taste of Music is not your typical stand and stir cooking show, it’s a show that cooks. Taste of Music makes it fun and goes on the adventure of what it takes to prepare the artist’s favorite meal. It focuses solely on the taste of the musician in life and food. Taste of Music digs deep to the roots to find out where the musicians taste came from and learn how to make their favorite food.
