Toby Smith

[Giba7]

So, like, whatever happened to Toby Smith? Wasn't he a huge part of early Jamiroquai?
Let's post what we know here.

[BlackCapricornDay]

He is the current music producer and manager for the English indie pop band, The Hoosiers.

Quoted from our favorite Wikipedia ..

Never heard The Hoosiers...might be interesting having Toby there...

I don't get why nobody asks about him. He seems to be a huge influence for the early JMQ as was Stuart Zender. Maybe because he is more of a 'behind the scenes' kinda guy/personality.

Everybody seems to ask about Stu. And he is performing these days.

But Toby seems like a kinda bashful guy. If I was sitting next to Jay in one of those early interviews, I would've gradually raised my voice louder than his to get my thoughts out, rather than clamping it up!

(of course if I was in the band, I would be Jay!)

[BlackCapricornDay]

They (The Hoosiers i mean)released their first album in 2007 and reached number 1 in the album charts, Their first single "Worried About Ray" reached #5 on the UK Singles Chart in July 2007.

Again from Wikipedia ..

And Toby is their producer, see he really enjoy working " behind the scene "

Thanks BlackCapricorn! I guess I could've Wiki-ed it. But I wonder if anybody knows about where he's at w/o looking it up?

Me too. He has some good songs on Soundcloud, which I like.

I must've missed this! Maybe too busy to watch when it was posted.
Glad to see Toby doing and looking so well!
