"WE SHOULD STAND UP AND SPEAK OUR TRUTH, EVEN IF IT MAKES US OR OTHERS UNCOMFORTABLE" - TOBY TOMTOM

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, Soul, and Rock.

 

Toby TomTom, is an Artist Songwriter/producer and visual artist from Akron, Ohio now based out of  Long Island, New York. He is driven by the lyrical honesty and simplicity of folk music. His song lyrics and melodies are written in his dreams, chorded out on acoustic guitar and, converted into sonic events pulling on his roots in Hip-Hop/R&B, Funk, Jazz, Classical & EDM (Electronic Dance Music) music!

 

TOBY  TOMTOM YESTERDAY
Toby TomTom is no stranger to the music industry. In fact, his resume is quite jaw-dropping. Some highlights include teaming with his brother to introduce a young, undiscovered Alicia Keys to NYC radio; winning the ASCAP Abe Olman Award for Most Promising Songwriter, an honor also won by John Legend; having his songs featured in the Off-Broadway play The Obeah Symphony (shown at The Billie Holiday Theater in Brooklyn), and having his work published internationally. He is a self-contained artist and multifaceted musician - singing, playing trumpet (so well he won a University scholarship for his ability), guitar, bass, drums, and piano.
