Description
Tony Carreira is a Portuguese musician. Born in the small rural locality of Armadouro, Pampilhosa da Serra, he moved to Paris at age 10 with his emigrant parents. He lived there for 20 years. Carreira has had several hits since 1991, becoming during the 2000s one of the most renowned and best-selling popular singers in his home country. Tony Carreira sold out concerts in one of the largest venues in Portugal, the Pavilh�o Atl�ntico in Lisbon, and also at the Olympia in Paris.
His most recent album, O Homem Que Sou, has been certified seven times platinum in Portugal. He has sold over 700,000 records in Portugal.
In August 2008, the Portuguese Society of Authors announced that it had received several complaints about possible plagiarism by Tony Carreira. The complaints related to three songs: "Depois de Ti", "Ai Destino, Ai Destino" and "Leva-me ao C�u". SPA concluded that the song "Depois de Ti", is an apparent unauthorized copy of the song "Despu�s de Ti Qu�?", made popular by Christian Castro. No action was taken however because SPA had not received an official complaint from the rights owners, who are represented by Universal Music Publishing. [More at Wikipedia]
