Toby Corton is the cash you dream of finding, rolled up, in the inside pocket of a favourite jacket. An Eastend romantic, with a heart for (Soul) music, Tom Robinson (BBC6 Music) referred to as 'charismatic queer cockney creative'. A tapestry of musical influence and style, Toby has been putting on shows, dancing around kitchens and living rooms since a child, raised on a veritable buffet spread of music.

Toby’s work in music extends well beyond his own artistic endeavours, as part of Corton & Quest, a writing and production duo, running their platform and studio space State is Flow. In addition to this the launch of Sounds Queer in 2022, an initiative that aims to create more opportunities and safe spaces for queer artists and audiences to participate in live music, has led to work with Glastonbury, The Roundhouse, Mighty Hoopla and major UK pride festivals.
