Hi Everyone! Happy Monday to you all!

I'm Tobi. Indie Electro/Experimental Electronic Pop Artist based in Luxembourg. After 15 months of work, my debut album, "We Need in the Dark" is finally out! Listen via the streaming platform of your choice [via Songlink] or via Bandcamp, as you prefer.

The opening track, "Panic" was named The Songbird/In Your Ears Music Track of the Day and described as "..gives you elements of Pet Shop Boys, early Daft Punk, Erasure”. Martha Richler of Resonance Radio said, "it made me think of what I love in Daft Punk, Giorgio, and Public Service Broadcasting”. The third track on the album, "How Do You Say Life is Wonderful" was reviewed by Zone Nights, "it will give a special feeling to your Friday night, it sounds like a fast trip towards an intergalactic road”.

I wanted to make an album that gave people hope; an album that said, the worse things get, the more we need to find the wonder in life. In these difficult times, optimism isn’t naive, it’s imperative to our survival. In doing so, I ended up telling my own story of ongoing recovery from chronic depression/anxiety and PTSD; the lesson I have learned and the ones I am still struggling to learn. By using recycled voices, from old public service announcements and Sci-Fi B-Movies, I found I could hide in plain sight. I found I could talk about subjects far more personal and painful than I could ever with my own voice.

​

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to listen. It is very much appreciated!

Wishing you all the best!

Tobi.
