Pop Artist Antony Bitar to Appear in RHONJ and Co-Writes Breakout Single for Melissa Gorga

July 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Pop singer-songwriter Antony Bitar has teamed up with Melissa Gorga, the newest cast member of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, along with pop and R&B songwriter Corte Ellis, to co-write her debut single "On Display." Bitar will appear on Monday, June 13th's episode of RHONJ, which filmed their collaboration and creation of Gorga’s single.

“Melissa’s talent and passion for music was so inspiring,” Bitar said. “She reached out to me with such great ideas, and after just a few minutes of sitting down at the piano together, we created a hit.”

Since graduating in opera performance from Montclair State University in New Jersey, Bitar moved to New York and returned to focus on his songwriting and solo act. The pop singer will release his self-titled debut album on Tuesday, September 13, 2011. The album showcases Bitar’s lively, feel-good pop sound and his honest, vulnerable lyrics that relate to each listener.

In contrast to his opera singing days, Bitar’s sound is a combination of the laid-back, cool voice of Jason Mraz and the upbeat piano-driven melodies of Sara Bareilles. His first single “Butterflies,” about that nervous yet exciting feeling of falling in love, has been gaining airplay across New York and New Jersey, within days of its release.

Bitar will be celebrating his album with a pre-release concert, as he headlines at Rockwood Music Hall (196 Allen Street) in New York City on Thursday, July 14 at 11pm.

Bitar’s appearance on The Real Housewives of New Jersey will air on Monday, June 13 at 10pm EST on Bravo.
