Danny Toeman When The Lights Go Down

A vibrant and powerful performer, Danny Toeman seamlessly blends the
classic vibes of Funk and Soul's golden age with his own inimitable
London edge that modernises his work, giving it a fresh 'neo-vintage'
flavour.
His gravel tones combined with an altitude-defying falsetto set
him apart, creating a sound oozing with character and emotion. With his
backing band 'The Love Explosion', Danny Toeman stages an electrifying
show filled to the brim with feel-good funky soul, designed to make
everyone get on up!
Born in London, Danny was well acquainted with the Soul, Funk, and
Rhythm and Blues of artists such as James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and
Ray Charles from an early age, before graduating onto the hard hitting
Souther Soul of artists like Wilson Pickett and Bobby Womack, and the
refined uptown Philly Soul of artists like the O'Jays and the Spinners. A
guitarist since the age of seven, and a singer before that, he grabbed any
opportunity to perform his songs on stage for an audience.
Danny Toeman truly set out to on his musical career after graduating
University (where he won the regions official Battle of the Bands contest).
Soon after, he was in demand as a supporting act for a number of great
Soul artists, including Charles Bradley of Daptone, Michael Kiwanuka,
Queen of Rare Groove Betty Wright, and 4-time Grammy winner Robert
Cray. Around the same time, Danny's music reached a worldwide audience
when a song of his was discovered on Soundcloud by scouts, and placed
on the in-store playlists of Abercrombie & Fitch. Since then, his music has
appeared in film and television shows around the world, most notably
Saturday Night Live (nbc).
Danny continued to perform nonstop around the UK, occasionally travelling
to continental Europe for appearances. From 2019-2021, he hosted and
promoted a series of headline shows at the famous Pizza Express Jazz
Club, which garnered sold out crowds every night.
The pinnacle of the support slots came in 2019, when Danny was chosen as
the primary support act for Kool and the Gang at their o2 Arena show in
London, in front of 10,000 spectators.
In Mid-2020, as the world was shutting down, Danny was approached by
LRK Records to release his track 'She's Got Something About Her' on vinyl.
Within 3 months of release, the disc completely sold out due to demand,
taking the European Soul Scene by storm. It garnered multiple radio plays,
including from BBC 6 Music's Craig Charles, and veteran BBC DJ Robert
Elms pronounced it 'his new favourite song'.
In 2022, Danny received his first spin on BBC Radio 2 for the single, 'Shake
the Blues Outta Your Shoes', and was chosen out of thousands of
competitors by industry professionals to act as the opening act for the
legendary Diana Ross at one of her rare UK performances!
As the world starts to open up, Danny looks forward to releasing more new
music, and taking his show across Europe and around the World.
