Many would argue great music is an expression of honest emotion and spirit, in a universal language that has no boundaries. Clearly, this is the force moving through the stunningly innovative singer/songwriter Toby TomTom. Toby’s distinctive style of music is driven by the lyrical honesty and simplicity of Folk combined with the grit and grind of Hip-Hop, Funk, Electronica, Jazz and Rock. His song lyrics and melodies are written in his dreams, chorded out on acoustic guitar and, converted into sonic events pulling on his musical roots.

Toby paints a sonic tapestry of love and connection with his latest release, Black Swan. This cinematic masterpiece transcends genres, weaving together lush instrumentation and soaring vocals into an unforgettable  auditory experience. Black Swan is inspired by love - as mysterious and divine as a black swan is rare. It is an artistic journey into self as he plays and sings all of the instruments.
