Antonio Carmine Di Bartolomeo [1] (born 24 August 1964, Slough, Buckinghamshire - now Berkshire, England) is an English singer performing under the stage name Tony Di Bart. Di Bart is best known for his single " The Real Thing" which reached number one in the UK Singles Chart in 1994.
Di Bart began his career as a bathroom salesman in Iver, Buckinghamshire, before achieving chart success. [2] He topped the charts in the United Kingdom for one week during May 1994, with a remixed version of his co written release from November 1993, " The Real Thing". [3]
Di Bart's subsequent singles did not achieve the same level of commercial success. He still makes appearances when requested, and was one of the judges at a village fete in Iver, Buckinghamshire, in July 2013 [4] [5] and in Skegness, Lincolnshire, [6] in 2014, as he continues to promote "The Real Thing".
In June 2023, di Bartolomeo was found guilty at Reading Magistrates' Court of assaulting a police officer.
