#86. Tobtok (360 plays)

Biography:
Tobtok, is one of the latest, and dare we say it, exciting, producing exports from Sweden. Born Tobias Karlsson, music flows through his veins. Although just 21, he is becoming somewhat of an old hand when it comes to French House and Nu Disco.
To today, and he lists Nile Rodgers as his biggest influence musically, although many of these influences come away from music and just through life. Having been diagnosed with cancer and told there was a 50% chance he would lose his hearing during treatment (he had a different operation at 7 years old to remove a cyst from his ear drum), Tobtok now grabs every opportunity with both hands. “When I heard that, it was the worst thing I had heard in my life. If that happened, I couldn't do music anymore. Basically, when I started my treatment with chemo therapy, my hearing instantly got worse. So during the period whilst I was being treated, I couldn't work on music at all, I could barely listen to music because my I had my headphones on and my head would get really bad. So I was really afraid I would not be able to make music again.”
