biography
Energetic. Raw. Feisty.
These three words tell you everything you need to know about Australian roots artist Toby on stage.
Toby is a stand out performer - and this is why she is making her mark touring the world - with seven Canadian tours up her sleeve, she also tours throughout Europe, America and Australia playing major festivals, and performing her own headline shows.
For an audience, these live shows are a deeply emotional and joyous experience. For Toby, she wears her emotions, thoughts and adventures on her sleeve as clearly as the delighted smile she sports while playing. It's that chemistry and connection – in between plenty of dancing and jumping from both sides – that makes each performance so strikingly unique and deliciously unpredictable.
Passionate and known for her unwavering commitment to her craft Toby is willing to take the risk and be vulnerable with her thoughts and emotions committed to song.
Perth born TOBY’s new album "SLEEPTALK" is the album you should be listening to! Why?
This album was recorded in San Francisco, California, where TOBY worked with co-producer Carey Williams. They met when TOBY played alongside Etta James (managed by Carey) at a festival in Milwaukee in 2009.
This is TOBY’s fourth full length album and is the culmination of years of touring endlessly throughout Australia, four tours to Europe, eight tours to Canada and memorable performances in the USA.
This album showcases TOBY’s insightful, honest and poignant song writing. It is an invitation to explore her mind and her soul. This critique of the human condition is both personal and broad.
It has captured TOBY’s best songs to date - with a full mature sound, and an incredible line up of musicians!
It tells stories across emotions and continents, yet never loses track of it's Australian roots, giving it a sense of place and time.
But best of all, it is simply full of great songs that people want to hear.
TOBY’s songwriting skills are honed enough to make her radio-friendly, and her voice is naturally soulful, earthy and dynamic enough to appeal to all kinds of music fans. The songs themselves have some seriously infectious hooks and draws in European flavours, some gutsy blues, slow, chilled out reggae and some soulful acoustic ballads.
By not deviating from her fiercely independent origins, TOBY keeps this album real and untamed as she criss-crosses the globe connecting with audiences, injecting them with the passion she feels for music and turning each performance into a memorable party.

2) ToBY
Using a limited background in creative writing and the performance chops from starring in a few school plays, Reggie created “ToBy”. The high energy, brash, and confident alter ego born from the imagination he’d cultivated for so many years. Applying his love of hip hop, indie rock, and emotional songwriting to an artist project that would take him across the country to perform shows and work with producers and directors that changed his life. Having moved to Los Angeles in 2017, he put out the pivotal ToBySeason Vol. I mixtape with legendary super producer, Aleks Vinter. This led him to signing a limited record deal with Magnetic Moon Records and releasing The Outside EP (2020) and his heart-wrenching debut album effort L’esprit (2021).
Recently, ToBy’s been hard at work playing shows with the likes of Johan Lennox and Carter Ace and cooking up hits in the studio with notable producers such as SebZel, Reef Boii, and his grammy nominated hometown best friends, smle.
