Toby Clarkson

It takes a rare kind of voice to rise above the noise. Toby Clarkson is an up-and-coming indie-pop singer-songwriter born and raised in the West Midlands. Toby’s early years were marked by quiet resilience, and at 19 he left the familiarity of home for Brighton, chasing creativity and immersing himself in a city where uniqueness thrives.

Developing his sound, Toby began writing his debut EP ‘Peach’, which explores the bittersweet themes of love and loss, in ways that feel deeply personal yet universally resonant. Each track is imbued with raw honesty, reflecting the ache of heartbreak and beauty found in vulnerability.

Toby’s sound is a soulful bridge between eras, drawing from the timeless <a href="spotify:artist:6hnWRPzGGKiapVX1UCdEAC" data-name="Sam Cooke">Sam Cooke</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3koiLjNrgRTNbOwViDipeA" data-name="Marvin Gaye">Marvin Gaye</a> while embracing the experimental intimacy of <a href="spotify:artist:5FxD8fkQZ6KcsSYupDVoSO" data-name="Omar Apollo">Omar Apollo</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2h93pZq0e7k5yf4dywlkpM" data-name="Frank Ocean">Frank Ocean</a>.
