About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Hi I'm Toby Deans, I have been playing the Guitar since the age of Ten. I started to write song's at the age of Thirteen. I like to write songs that are real and come from the heart. My inspiration comes from the way I see the world. I'm seeking to pull people in and conect with other's in a powerful way, touching on the issues that affect us all in life. My dream is to raise the awareness of being in touch with our feelings, to give them a voice, to follow our feelings, and to learn from them. I started off playing in gosple bands and writing songs. At school being a bit of a loner I would often be in the piano room, and did varoius recordings with friends. I have been in lots of bands, searching for Musicians who can be sensitive to the emotions and connection involved in making the kind of music I am trying to create. I have worked with many bands starting from Gerald and his inflatable orcestra, to the lovable talented guy's in Wave . I now play as a Solo Musician, but have many friends who are also incredibly talented muscians and singers who help me when recording and performing live - all of whom are sensitve to my emotion in the music. This year I are hoping to release an album of my work with Wave, and music written on my own, as well as a mix of current stuff with my friends. The album will hopfully be released in Aprill. Enjoy!
