Born António Manuel Mateus Antunes in 1963 in Pampilhosa da Serra, Portugal, he moved to France with his family as a teenager, an experience that later influenced his music style.

In addition to his own impressive discography, Tony Carreira's musical legacy extends to his family — his children, including David Carreira and Mickael Carreira, have also carved out successful careers in music. Despite facing personal challenges in recent years, including the tragic loss of his daughter Sara, Carreira continues to be a cherished figure in Portuguese popular music, touching hearts both at home and among the Portuguese diaspora around the world.
