About the artist
Tony Halstead is an actor best known for his voice and on-screen work, including roles in Strawinsky and the Mysterious House (2012), Without a Trace (2002) and Once Upon a Time in China and America (1997). His most widely recognized contribution came through Strawinsky and the Mysterious House, where he voiced the anthropomorphic worm creature known as the Globglogabgalab.
That character's theme song, «Globglogabgalab», took on a life of its own online, becoming a heavily remixed and parodied piece of internet culture years after the show's original release, turning a minor children's television role into a recognizable internet-music artifact. A related piece, «The Rat King», is also associated with his work.
Unlike traditional recording artists, Halstead's presence in music stems almost entirely from this single viral character performance rather than a conventional discography, making him a notable example of how internet culture can transform a piece of voice acting into an enduring, widely shared musical meme.
