Antoine Beux (aka Tony Bird) started studying violin at age 5 in Paris. Tony earned his Prix de Perfectionnement in classical violin at the ENM in Gennevilliers and began his jazz studies at IMEP Paris College of Music in 2010. In 2014, he formed 2Birds Band, which he toured through New York, Boston, Canada, and France, fresh off graduating from Berklee College of Music in Boston, until 2020.

Tony has played for internationally renowned artists like Jacob Collier and Lee Hom Wong, and is now part of Cirque du Soleil’s musician database.

In 2019, he was hired as solo violinist for the musical “The Band’s Visit,” which won 10 Tony Awards. Since 2021, he’s been part of “INSULA II,” a project led by Martinican pianist Maher Beauroy.

In 2024, he released the album “Flip The Bird” with 2BIRDS BAND, made up entirely of French musicians, playing shows in Paris and at a few festivals across France. He later joined the Aléthée 259 theater troupe as a composer, the string quartet “After Monk” (a tribute to Thelonious Monk) led by Gilles Naturel, and “Le Paris de Piaf” (a tribute to Edith Piaf) with Anne-Sophie Guerrier.

In 2025, Tony joined RÏCÏNN, an avant-garde doom metal band formed by singer Laure Le Prunenec (formerly of Igorrr and Corpo Mente), and opened for gypsy jazz guitarist Angelo Debarre with Les Mouches De Paname.
