Posted on by Leave a comment

TOBI (real name Ashley Tobias) has been hard at work, spreading music, positivity, and love all over the world. Most recently, she has been achieving this mission as one of the singers in international touring rock band Gogol Bordello since 2017. She has also performed backing vocal duties alongside famed pop artists, including Rachel Platten and Andy Grammer.

Through it all, TOBI has never released her own music… until a week from today.
