Anthony Edward "Tony" Fagenson (born July 18, 1978) is a producer, songwriter, and drummer who is best known for his work with rock band Eve 6.[1] While attending the University of Southern California, he auditioned for a band from La Crescenta, California called Eleventeen (eventually to become Eve 6) to replace their drummer. A fan at the time of the Fox TV show The X-Files, Fagenson and singer Max Collins were inspired to name the band Eve 6 after seeing the X-Files episode "Eve" while recording their first album.

When not spending time on band matters, Fagenson produced and co-wrote songs for artists such as Puddle of Mudd, Emily Osment, Illustrated, the Johnsons, Sandra N, Malbec and the Outré. In 2005, Fagenson joined former Eve 6 member Max Collins in forming a new band, The Sugi Tap. They played smaller venues and released an EP.

Fagenson announced his departure from Eve 6 via Twitter on April 7, 2018.[2]

Fagenson is the son of the Grammy Award winning producer Don Was.
