My name is Tobias Rintoul; I am now 18 years old and aiming at being a musician for many years to come. I have been doing performing arts stuff since I was about 6 years old. As I moved up to senior school, I joined the local Operatic Society. The first show I played in was “Merry Widow”, which was shown for a week at the local theatre. In between rehearsals I had one to one voice training and music coaching with the then musical director. The last show I did was “Fiddler on the Roof” I played a Russian Soldier because nobody else could do the Russian Dancing. That’s the potted history out of the way and I currently live in France with my Dad. The farm where we live is in the middle of nowhere, not really my cup of tea, but it did have a rather interesting effect on me. At the end of a day, I would strum my guitar. Before long, I realised words and music started to form pictures in my mind, which is really where my songs started. I play, sing and compose all the music and the lyrics for my songs. Music is now my passion in life and I fully intend to continue with it. I love so many different styles of music it would take far too long to list them here. To start with we just recorded with a small track recorder, not the best sound but it allowed me to put some songs on myspace. The songs got a good bit of interest and I was invited to audition in England. I did the audition and was offered the chance to record an EP. Unfortunately, when we got the contract through it was a dinosaur, the type of thing that cost the Animals to lose the rights and monies for their songs. Consequently, I recently completed an EP which was recorded at Outhouse Studios in Reading. I was able to have a hand in the mix and have to thank John and Ben who engineered for me, again Ben for his Synth input and Dad for the drum tracks. I would love to record my full album, so that you guys could all hear, what I hear in my head when i think of, how my album will sound.
