Born into a family of musicians in Pula (then SR Croatia, SFR Yugoslavia), Cetinski began singing when he was 15 years old with various local groups. He moved from Rovinj to Zagreb in 1991 to start his career, and quickly became one of Croatia's leading pop stars. In 1994, he represented Croatia at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Nek' ti bude ljubav sva".
At the 10th Croatian Radio Festival in 2006, Cetinski won all three prizes in pop-rock category: HRF Grand Prix – pop-rock, Listener's award and Music Editors award.[1] He also recorded the song "Lagala nas mala" as a duet with Macedonian singer Toše Proeski. This song appears on both of Proeski's 2005 albums, Po tebe and its Croatian edition Pratim te. The song was also remixed by DeeJay Time.
In 2009, Cetinski won the Porin award for best male vocal performance with his song "Ako to se zove ljubav".[2] Cetinski sold out two concerts in Arena Zagreb the same year with more than 30,000 people attending.[3]
Tony is married to Dubravka. He is a devout Roman Catholic.[4]
