Tobisonics

Having spent his increasingly volatile teenage years in a series of awful/awesome indie guitar bands; music fell away in Tobi’s early 20s, as he wrestled with his, as yet undiagnosed, mental health problems. By his mid-30s, Tobi felt trapped, evermore socially isolated, every turn leading to thoughts of suicide. A last roll-of-the-dice appointment with a Psychiatrist led to regular therapy sessions & medication. Tobi found himself flooded with years of repressed emotions; the music fell out of him. The slow grind of his recovery & music-making evolved together.

Nominated Radio WigWam Best Electro Act 2021, Tobi has been played by DJ Tobi Lynn of Amazing Radio US, featured in Fresh on the Net’s Fresh Faves [Batch 390], as well as attracting the attention of Abbie McCarthy [BBC Radio 1] “Enjoyed listening to this, ace production 👏🏼” & Jaguar [BBC Intro Dance Radio 1/Mix mag] “This is everything. I want more.”

Never intended to be autobiographical, but rather an exploration of the imperative of optimism; Tobi gradually realized his debut LP was, in fact, an acutely personal project about the lessons learned in his ongoing recovery & those he was still struggling to learn.

Tobi is also a passionate advocate for Independent Music. Volunteering as a moderator for Fresh on the Net where he organizes the guest moderator including an ongoing relationship with The F-List in support of Female Music Makers.

'Panic' the first single from Tobi's debut LP is out Friday 5th August.
