a feel-good love song. Toeman expresses how gratitude was the
inspiration for the new track sharing, “This song came to me as I
was travelling home from a random gig in the middle of nowhere,
clunky guitar case and amplifier taking up space in the train carriage.
I was thinking about the show and how despite how small it
was, the audience had shown so much love for my set. I wondered
what they would think if they saw me now and if they knew it was
their reaction that keeps me going. So I decided to write something
that would express my appreciation to them and all other audiences
who’ve had a similar effect on me”.
Influenced by the power and swagger of James Brown, the pained
romance of Marvin Gaye, and the uplifting joy of Curtis Mayfield,
Toeman combines his love of classic soul with modern elements,
bringing a new sound of soul, whilst forging his own path into
unchartered territory. Thematically his music narrates finding the
sweetness in the sour and getting through the rough times with
dignity. “I try and keep my music positive and aspirational, in
matters of life and love, matter how hard the present
circumstances. This is the message I have always found at the heart
of the music I love”, admits Toeman.
When he is not performing, writing and producing music, the
musician hopes to flaunts his powerful charisma as a professional
wrestler, having taken up training last year. Whether in the ring
or on stage, he displays a charming eccentricity and incomparable
flair that consistently captivates his audience.
To date, Toeman has performed to sold out audiences at prestigious
venues such as Alexandra Palace and the o2 Arena, as well as
supporting soul luminaries such as Kool & The Gang, Betty Wright,
Michael Kiwanuka, and Charles Bradley. His music can also be
heard in a global advertising campaign for Toyota, on Saturday
Night Live and in Made in Chelsea, as well as receiving national
radio airplay from the likes of BBC 6 Music’s Craig Charles.
Put quite simply, there is no other artist quite like Danny Toeman.
With a full album release on the horizon and a range of live dates
on the way, now is the ideal time to catch an awe inspiring live
performance from a true rising star. ‘Give It All Up (Mr Showtime)’
is currently available worldwide.
