The band consists of Dónal Sharpson (Piano, Vocals, Production), Ben Higgins (Vocals, Guitar) and Jack Gamble (Vocals, Guitar). Tooka combines the acoustic singer-songwriter genre with experimental electronic production. The trio bring something new to the table with extremely melodic piano playing, accompanied by two guitars and all three of them singing in a harmony filled, drone-like fashion. Tooka's sound is reminiscent of Bon Iver, The XX and even Aphex Twin.

Tooka began when Dónal Sharpson found himself writing songs with light hearted, programmatic lyrics and couldn't find a place for them in his other various electronic music projects. He decided to record them in 2017 under the name 'Tooka'. In early 2018, Dónal got in touch with Ben Higgins, whom he had met in Mater Dei Institute studying music. He asked Ben to help him perform these 'Tooka' songs live. When searching for a third member, Ben suggested his old band-mate Jack Gamble to join the group. The trio have begun writing and performing together since the beginning of 2018 and continue to do so.
