Biography

After moving to Berlin in 2022, Dutch composer, singer songwriter and producer Toon Bosch made his debut with the album 'Until the Night Is Quiet'.  A short but dense project filled with immersive, filmesque songs that take on a personal approach. Together with it's gloomy lead single 'Somewhere Along the Way' the album came out in the summer of 2023.

Learning how to write music during his teenage years while playing in bands, Toon Bosch moved on to write, and produce songs on his own while studying at the Conservatory of Groningen. Growing up in a creative household he took to drawing at an early age as a first way to express his imagination. In a desire to see the world in a more magical light his artistic drive remained very dependent on his imaginative side, while his outlook on life became plainer and more realistic as he developed into an analytical person. Inspired by artists like Ichiko Aoba, Luwten and composers such as Ennio Morricone and Henri Mancini, Toon spends his time converting simple concepts into vivid and moving songs where the story is told just as much in the music as in the lyrics. He manages to capture little worlds and these little worlds are created by carefully picked sounds, harmonies and melodies that ensure the illusion of these worlds existing is not broken.

In 2011, Toon formed a band with three of his school friends. Under various names they gained their first experience in performing, song writing and experimenting with sound. Toon’s conceptual approach to song writing was formed during these years as the band would discuss a lot about the relation between subject matter and composition of the songs. Undoubtedly vital in his musical development, writing music together felt restraining and after downloading a copy of Ableton, Toon’s interest started shifting towards writing music by himself in his room. This led him to apply for the conservatory and these years  were marked by experimenting with all kinds of music, from atonal classical music to drum&bass. Throughout these genre’s the conceptual approach remained and in the later years the music evolved into combining popmusic with filmmusic and impressionistic classical music, from which his current work is a direct result.

Until the Night Is Quiet (debut-album)

Being a reserved person Toon Bosch usually keeps a distance between his personal experiences and his art. The latter often revolving around imaginary stories and fictional concepts. But for this short album, that also serves as his public debut, Toon decided to challenge himself to open up emotionally and expose his inner thoughts and feelings.

 

Although covered in a fairy-tale like aesthetic, this album explores his own encounters with themes like hopelessness, obsession, death, guilt, growing up and more. 'Until the Night Is Quiet' is out on all platforms.
