Tobias Dray

Tobias Dray is a genre-defying artist who began his career as a bedroom producer during the golden era of SoundCloud, gaining early recognition with features on Soulection Radio. Tobias evolved from crafting beats into a full fledged singer-songwriter. While his music knows no bounds, it consistently carries the essence of bossa nova, hip-hop, and R&B influences, creating a sound that’s uniquely his own.

Completely independent—no label, no manager, no distributor deal—Tobias does it all himself. This DIY approach allows him to shape his sound on his own terms, evolving into a real independent artist.

In 2025, Tobias is set to release his debut album that transcends traditional music boundaries. This work combines music with a one-shot manga illustrated by Japanese mangaka Akeji Fujimura, where each track serves as a chapter in a deeply personal narrative. The first single HMU has already caught the attention of listeners, setting the stage for this unique tale Tobias has been crafting for years.

From selling out his first headline tour to earning co-signs from global icons like RM of BTS, Tobias Dray proves that being independent isn’t a limitation—it’s a strength, turning challenges into opportunities for authentic artistic expression.
