Sharpen my thoughts, try not to be afraid. And though I
know it‘s a stormy way, I make this step ‘cause I feel it‘s the right one“ - Tóke in „Movements“
This artist is most definately on his way and his boat is heading into the right direction. Tóke is one of the most promising newcomers Europe has to offer. Since the release of his self-produced debut EP „Troddin‘ With A Vision“ less than 3 years ago (2014) in which he created an exciting fusion of Reggae and Folk, the 25-year old artist has constantly been gaining momentum - several shows around Europe, Jamaica and Indonesia have raised awareness for the german-indonesian artist‘s creativi﬚, passion and talent.

His debutalbum „Wake Up Inna Kingston“ (May 2016) produced by Italy‘s Bassplate Records is the next milestone in the artist‘s career. This project captures the energy of Tóke‘s inspiring journey‘s to Jamaica - lyrically as well as visually (The videos for „Respect“ and „Frizzle“ were shot in Kingston). The 9-track strong album recieved tremendous feedback and a﬙ention by relevant Reggae media sources worldwide and allowed the artist to tour extensively with his own band „The Soultree Collective“ Europe-wide for the first time, performing at Festivals like One Love Festival (Italy), Afrika Tage Festival (Austria) and Reggae Jam Festival (Germany), to name a few. 2017 started with a powerful social commentary: „Open The World“ feat. Ras Muhamad was released with an impressive video shot in Bali, Indonesia. The strong message
obvisouly resonated: the song was aired in several national Radiostations across the world like Cosmo/ WDR (Germany), SRF 3 (Swiss) & SABC (South Africa) (etc.) and reached over 180,000 views on YouTube within a few weeks. Following the journey to his Indonesian roots, Tóke released „Deh Pon Stereo Vol. 2“ (Oct 2017), a collaborational mixtape with Indonesia‘s Asia-Afrika Soundsystem that displays the artist‘s versatili﬚ as he rides an eclectic selection of instrumentals ranging from Foundation Reggae to Hip Hop, Afrobeat and Folk. The brand new single „Movements“ (Dec 2017) is a touching folk-reggae ballad that gives an insight into the Reggae/Singer-Songwriter's deepest thoughts and fears. Accompanying the song,
17-year old talent Kai Lietzke (Hamburg) created an intense art visual that perfectly depicts Tóke‘s tornstate of mind during the songwriting process of the song.
Tóke is currently completing a 10-dates tour in his country of birth Indonesia and is set to spread his organic and authentic music worldwide in 2018.
