Meet Toby!
DREAMT MELODIES, GENRE-BENDING BEATS
Toby TomTom: Genre Lines? He Skips 'Em. This sonic architect throws folk's soul into a blender with hip-hop's fire, funk's groove, electronica's buzz, and a shot of jazz & rock. Think Tupac's raw energy, Debussy's intricate beauty, and the soulful depth of Marvin Gaye, all filtered through a Kendrick Lamar sensibility – that's the sonic DNA.
This NYC veteran has a history of spotting talent, even playing a role in early NYC radio exposure for Alicia Keys. Award-winning songwriting chops? Got 'em (ASCAP, same club as John Legend). From stripped-down acoustic sets to global ears, Toby's a one-person band (guitar, bass, drums, keys, trumpet!) with a voice that hits.
The Further Magazine says of Toby: "Defies categorization... fearless... a bold proclamation of individuality." Long Island via Akron, this self-made force is carving his own sound. Buckle up.
