About Me


Introverted singer/songwriter.

"With a hint of Elliott Smith and a whole lot of northern soul, Manc musician Genus - AKA Toby Gawne - is here to show grimly generic singer/songwriters everywhere the embarrassing errors of their ways. With a set of wistfully soothing yet brilliantly inventive tunes ready to invade the space between your ears and under you ribs, don't be disappointed it took you this long to catch on. Just sit back, tune out, and let Genus in." - Rock Sound Magazine

It’s arrived!

The first Genus DIY E.P. “Reclaimed Land” is now available.

..

The E.P. contains 6 songs, some you will have heard before, some not, but all have been remixed and mastered to the best of my ability and until I almost went nuts.
The price is £3.50 plus P+P (£1.00 in the UK, £2.50 worldwide). I’m not selling this CD for any profit what so ever, so the price simply reflects the production costs. All orders will be shipped in the New Year within 2 weeks of order.
To order just send me an email [email protected] then I will send you a PayPal money request, follow the instructions and away we go!

PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU ARE IN THE UK OR NOT WHEN YOU ORDER OTHERWISE I WON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TO CHARGE YOU!

Hope you enjoy it and don’t forget to come back and tell me what you thought!
