Antonino Tati (born August 5, 1970) is the founding editor of Cream Magazine. He is also a DJ, music director, visual artist, publisher, and editor of several pop cultural publications.

Born in Perth, Western Australia, and graduating from Edith Cowan University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Media Studies, Tati worked at television networks Nine and Seven in Perth before moving to Sydney in 1994 to commence a career in print journalism.

He worked as a freelance writer for various pop cultural magazines including Attitude (UK), Australian Style, Beat, Black & White, Blue, The Drum Media, and 3D World. He also contributed regularly to The West Australian newspaper, and later to Rock Candy magazine, and his own title Cream.

Tati is regularly invited to guest-lecture at universities and colleges in various fields within the arts including communications, publishing, public relations, graphic design, and journalism.

In 1997, Tati founded Cream, managing the title in print format for 13 years, until 2011 when it transitioned fully to digital. In print format, the magazine sold well in Australia, the US, the UK, Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong, and was part of the official in-flight reading menu on Qantas airlines for seven years.

Tati currently oversees content of the website creammagazine.com which covers topics as broad as the arts and contemporary entertainment, travel and technology, design and pop cultural trending. Cream's content has best been described as "that which goes against the grain of established ideologies, particularly in the areas of gender, sexuality and whatever might be left of class politics". To quote one of its own editorials, the magazine asks readers to "scratch beneath the surface of the superfice".

Tati is currently also editor of Rock Candy Magazine, a niche lifestyle publication for the FIFO (fly-in, fly-out) sector. He is also penning a memoir on the idiosyncrasies of the music, publishing and public relations industries, due to be published in 2017.
