Danny Toeman

'Some artists say their music has 'soul', but then you get a different kind of artist. The kind you listen to and in an instant you realise... they have soul. London-based musician Danny Toeman channels the golden era of the genre with 'neo-vintage' style; simultaneously drawing comparisons to greats like James Brown alongside contemporary hits such as Eli 'Paperboy' Reed. Hailed as 'the new generation of UK soul', it's a sound that can never be taught; one that you're either born for doing... or you're not. Sadly, 90% of us regular humans, are not. It just means that we have to do our utmost to marinate our ears in the rich, funkalicious vocal acrobatics that so organically flow from the heart of people like this. The positive energy and lyrics of Danny Toeman's music makes him a must for any feel-good playlist.' - Kat Jackman, Huffington Post

'London singer Danny Toeman may be playing in 2014, but he has a strong sense of classic soul. He's worked with acts from Robert Cray to Betty Wright and he is out on his own with the brand new EP, The Way It Seems. There is no better way to get a feel for Danny's music than to hear it, and he comes out of the box beautifully with the infectious single "That Sinking Feeling."' - Soultracks
