"Food for your soul"


"The silky/soultry voice combined with the groovin vibe of the brilliant new release by Teri Tobin entitled, "Free" is a must have to your music collection. This song is definitely food for your soul! Highly recommended "

"From the first beat"


"I can tell if I'm going to like a new song within the first fifteen seconds, but with Teri Tobin's new single "Free", I knew I was going to like it from the first beat. It combines the freshness of nusoul and hip hop with subtle touches of classic 70's soul. Ms. Tobin's voice effortlessly floats along the groove. A certain addition to my playlist. I'm eagerly anticipating what else she has in store for us. "

Bio

Born on Valentine’s Day, this Arizona-born songstress, songwriter & producer had sounds of soul music flowing through her veins at an early age. While voice training in those days started at her grandmother’s church, her professional singing career began at the ripe age of 10 when was chosen to sing background vocals for Jeffery Osborne, and for the Rock Band Yes. The former beauty pageant winner decided long ago while singing along with Natalie Cole’s Our Love that music was her true passion and has set her sights on her dream ever since. While studying classical voice at Howard University, Tobin gained stage experiences performing with the school’s Chorale in which during President Clinton’s Inaugural Gala on the National Mall, performing background for Diana Ross, Whitley Phipps, and shared the stage with Patti LaBelle, Luther Vandross, Shai and many others. She also got her first taste of the nightclub scene while living in Washington, DC at the infamous Takoma Station.

Performing demos and background vocals for artists such as Joe, Chico DeBarge, Coolio, Chante Moore, Korea-based Uptown, Coco Lee and Mica Paris has prepared her for her moment to shine as a solo artist. She also appears on James Tobin's sophomore release entitled " Late Nite" and co-wrote the title track. Upon the release of the independent film Fathers of the Sport, one of the songs she co-wrote can be heard as a backdrop to this powerful film.

Although most of her influences are male singers like Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, Marvin Gaye, Prince, and Donny Hathaway, Tobin is reminiscent of the sultry sounds and richness of Soul or Jazz singers of yesterday.

“ I feel like this is what I was put on this earth to do...” - T. Tobin
