Toggi

Toggi was born in Iceland in 1979. Spending most of his childhood dreaming about being able to create music, he finally bought his first guitar at the age of 17. He slowly tought himself to play well enough to be able to write songs, and has since then written a bunch of songs and lyrics. After meeting Bjarki, a much more experienced and technically skilled musician and recording engineer, Toggi realised that recording was the next logical step. Toggi & Bjarki began recording some of Toggi's songs early in 2004. In april 2006 they signed a licensing deal with Sena (Icelandic label) and quickly thereafter released their first single - Heart in Line - which became a big hit on all the Icelandic radio stations. They released the debut album - Puppy - on september the 25th 2006. All in all, four singles were released from Puppy, all making a big impact on the Icelandic radio stations.
In 2007 Toggi wrote the most popular song in Iceland, and was awarded with the Icelandic music awards for 'Song of the year'. That song, titled '�� komst vi� hjarta� � m�r' was originally released by Icelandic gay pop-icon P�ll �skar and then covered by indie heroes Hjaltal�n.
Currently, Toggi & band are working on new material. A new album is planned for release in 2011. As of now, 5 singles from the upcoming album have been released and are available for download at http://www.medialux.com
