Tobias Dray

Tobias Dray[1] is a French singer-songwriter, composer and instrumentalist. [2][3] His music consistently explores a diverse range of styles, including hip hop, pop-rock, electronic, and bossa nova.[4] His artistic evolution is marked by an unpredictable trajectory, making it impossible to predict what he will explore next. [5]

Career

Tobias Dray began his music career as a composer and producer, initially creating music for other artists, including Tayc. In 2018, he released his first major project, an EP titled Silent Faces, which featured collaborations with South Korean artists such as Palo Alto, REDDY, and JUNNY. [6][7][8]

In 2021, Tobias created a TikTok account to promote his music and branding, which has now amassed over 2 million followers. [9] Leveraging this established fanbase, Tobias independently released "HMU" in November 2021, marking his first single featuring his own vocals. This song is considered a pioneering track in the new revival of drum and bass that gained momentum in 2022. [10]

In February 2023, RM from the band BTS co-signed Tobias' song "You Made Me A Fool'. [11]. On May 2024, Tobias announced that he is working on his debut album in collaboration with Japanese mangaka Akeji Fujimura. This project is set to be the first music album paired with a one-shot manga, with a planned release at the end of 2024. [12]
