Tony Stamp

Host of The Sampler

Tony’s radio career started at Auckland’s 95bFM, hosting a variety of specialist shows which spotlighted new music. 

He produced and hosted three seasons of the NZ On Air-funded series 'Inside Track', and 'True Fan', both of which focused on local music and its surrounding ecosystem and played nationwide on the Student Radio Network. 

There were a few amusing detours along the way - he wrote and co-presented a science fiction film show for Sky TV, and for a while was an agony uncle on TVNZ’s U-Live (and later U-Late).

Tony started contributing to Music 101 in 2007 and has kept a foot in the door ever since, creating long-form documentaries and features, interviewing artists, and discussing new music on Song Crush. He is both awed and humbled to have inherited the Nick Bollinger-initiated music review show The Sampler.

In 2022 Tony won the inaugural NZ On Air Outstanding Music Journalism Award for his work creating long-form music documentaries and features, interviewing artists, and discussing new music on Song Crush and his music reviewing for The Sampler.
