Toby lee parents

Continue Toby Lee, is an incredibly talented 10-year-old schoolboy from Oxfordshire whose homemade videos of himself strumming off his guitar have recently gone viral with millions of YouTube hits around the world. Virtuoso American blues gutarist Joe Bonamassa recently shared a video of Toby playing the song BB King on his Facebook page, and dubbed him a future blues guitar superstar. This video has now reached over 12 million people and has been viewed more than 4 million times in just a few days! SCREENSHOT OF TOBY'S ORIGINAL VIDEO POST - SHARED POST BY JOE BONAMassaWhen journalist from one of the British national newspapers asked Toby whether he thought he could do it at the top of the music industry, Toby responded just like a typical 10-year-old and said: I'm not sure how far I can go with this - I don't have a time machine. Toby, how did you feel when Joe Bonamassa shared his video on Facebook? I just felt amazing and proud of myself. Joe is my huge hero, but I never thought he'd ever notice me. I still can't get over it. I watched Toby's video on Facebook and was just blown away by his talent. The fact that a 10-year-old already knows and understands how to play the blues as a muscian who has been around for years is just amazing. Toby and his father Terry were kind enough to do an email interview with us after we contacted them on Facebook and Toby's dad even took the time to chat with me on the phone before this post was published. We will follow Toby's progress with great interest because, like Joe Bonamassa, who was also discovered to play at a very young age, we are sure that Toby is destined for great things to come. Let's go back to the very beginning ...... how and when did Toby's amazing musical talent first begin to develop? It started when he was a little kid. Toby's father played guitar tunes to help his son fall asleep. Things really started to take off when Toby received the ukulele as a gift from his grandmother at the tender age of four. I played until all the strings broke down, said Toby, and then Santa gave me a red copy of Strat when I was 7 and that's where it started. After watching the movie School of Rock I wanted the right guitar. I felt like a rock star and carried him everywhere with his first SET OF STRINGSToby being influenced by some great guitarists and his extensive list of favorite musicians amazes a guy his age - he certainly knows that he loves to play and listen, and the usual pop-chart music that most other 10-year-olds like, just don't even figure in his playlist. Obviously I'm a big fan of Joe Bonamassa, , Walter Trout, , , BB King, John Mayer, and . I also follow players such as Lawrence Jones, ?uinn Sullivan, Chris Chris Robinson, Joan Shaw Taylor and Aaron Kaylock. I also love rock 'n' roll - Buddy Holly, Elvis, modern bands like J.D. McPherson and Jack Rabbit Slim and Brian Setzer. I'm a big rock fan too - Guns N Roses, Metallica, AC/DC..... If one day you could own a guitar that was played by either Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page or Stevie Ray Vaughan - which would you choose and why? I would like Jimi Hendrix Strat, but I can't play left-handed and he'll probably be broken or burned. So I would say SRV Strat for a certain . Toby's response indicates that for a young guy, he already has a good sense of humor and knows his Rock and Roll stories as well as his guitars! Toby's dream of owning a finally came true earlier this year when his father gave him one of his own as a well-deserved award for winning the Young Musician of the Year competition. TOBY WITH BERNIE MARSDENToby famous fans now include blues legend , whom he met, and Mick Box, lead guitarist Uriah Heep, who was also very supportive. Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans described it as natural. and legendary Radio 2 newsreader Moira Stewart said he sounded like a budding Jimi Hendrix. TOBY WITH MICK BOX FROM URIAH HEAPToby has already been filmed by the BBC speaking at his school. He has been championed by Seattle Rock and Blues radio station, and having a recent opportunity to appear on Radio Chris Evan 2 Breakfast Show to play Highway to Hell. CLIP TOBY PLAYING SOME AC/DC AT HOMEOne from Toby's recent video show him performing AC/DC 'Thunderstruck' wearing a school cap - just like another of his idols, Angus Young. Some of his other home beeen videos are shot by his dad on I-Pad, while Toby wears his comfortable onesie, and strums away in his parent's living room. Toby Onesie Jams has become an overnight internet sensation with millions of people around the world tuning in every week and sending requests. We asked Toby about how the idea to play Onesie came about: I shot my first Onesie Jam without mom and dad knowing, and I was wearing a onesie that Mom did for me. I liked the idea of doing weekly jam in a onesie! I have a tiger onesie, an army onesie and a onesie guitar! I can see it's getting a bit of a trend - every budding Rock Star-in-solution needs a memorable trick and Toby has already got this area covered! Joe Bonamassa may have sharp men-in-black suits and shades like his recognizable image, but Onesie Jams may be the next big thing! AMAZING VIDEO TOBY PLAYING FOR BB KING WHICH JOE BONAMASSA SHARED ON FACEBOOKDespite all the instant fame and suddenly with a spotlight placed on it, put back Toby sounds surprisingly grounded for a budding future Guitar Hero:I'd give my guitar a play of 9.5 out of ten because no one is perfect. I'm playing blues and rock 'n' roll. I'm not sure where the sympathy rock came from, but I listen to it all the time and my mom and dad really like it. How long should you practice on each day? Do you play by ear or read music or do a little bit of both? Do you just enjoy playing songs of other peoples or do you play what you come up with yourself? I don't really practice as such, I just play all the time. So it never feels like sitting to learn something - I always have a guitar in my hand. I play by ear and don't read music yet. Only recently I've done a few covers - so far it's all been improvised in my style. In my rock school - Witchwood School of Rock - we don't do covers - it's all our own songs. What is your favorite song to play for your own pleasure and why do you like it? Thrill is Gone - BB King - I can do so much with it and mix different riffs. Staying quietly understated about his newfound internet fame, Toby says: I just love playing, and when we put videos on Facebook I thought they would have about ten people watching them. When I found out that more than a million people had seen it, it came as a surprise. What was best for you about getting so many hits on You Tube and Facebook and becoming an internet star? I had so much support and great comments. Many people around the world have told me that they look forward to Sunday jam! Bb King jam has now reached 10 million people and has been viewed almost 4 million times! I have quite a few fans on Facebook, which is cool, and I also befriended an amazing 8 year old drummer in the US called Alex Shoemaker and hopefully make a transatlantic jam together soon! Despite all the attention he gets in the media and his immense talent for music, Toby is just like any other normal 10-year-old kid and has many other interests too: I have a lot of friends, I love classic cars, running, going to music festivals, playing with my dogs and playing drums. My best subjects in school are English and art - and I love playing time! So how does music fit into Toby's education? Toby currently attends Crackley Hall School in Kenilworth and also attends Witchwood Rock School in Oxfordshire a couple of times a week. Although his blues plays mostly self-taught, Toby has weekly guitar lessons with Aldie Chalmers at Witchwood Rock School. Aldie was an amazing teacher for Toby and creates just the right balance between lesson and jamming session. It can be hard to keep a 10-year-old engaged for an hour, but his lessons are often done in WA style-sharing riffs, and lots of laughs, and manages to slip into some practice scales at the same time. They often run over on time because they are so However, despite his skill on the guitar, the young musician says he certainly won't add to his repetoire at any time in the future. I really hate singing, he says - but when you can play guitar like Toby does, adding things like the vocals of his improvisation isn't such a big deal. Toby Elementary School is very supportive of his music too. Director Toby Rob Duigan said: We have a lot of hardworking and talented musicians at Crackley Hall and Toby's obvious love of electric guitar shines through. When he plays, he literally goes into another world, and the sounds he makes are just extraordinary for a little boy who just recently turned ten. TOBY PLAYING WITH RON BUMBLEFOOT THALPOSTER FOR THE MASTERCLASS session THAT TOBY ATTENDEDLots IS already moving in Toby's direction. He has just been crowned Banbury Junior Young Guitarist of the Year 2015 and he has taken a special masterclass with Ron 'Bumblefoot' ThaI, who plays with Guns 'N' Roses. This summer, he travels to Graceland, Tennessee, to visit Elvis Presley's former home. He was there to see Walter Trout, and another talented young rising star, Lawrence Jones, play live, and he was recently invited to visit Gibson Guitar Headquarters in London and attended the launch party for the new album Darkness. He already has his own band - Augmented Force - which play every Thursday at one of the Witchwood School Rock Centers. The group consists of four other students and Mentor Toby, Pat Scott.TOBY IN ACTION ON STAGEWe asked Toby to tell us who he wanted to share the stage or do a duet with in the future: My ultimate goal would be to play with Joe Bonamassa - but I wanted to have some UK mentors who can support me and help me improve too. Lawrence Jones and Aaron Kaylock have already offered their support and I hope to play along with Lawrence this weekend for a song or two. TOBY WITH UK BLUES GUITARIST LAURENCE JONESSo how does his parents feel about being a musical prodigy for a son? His proud father Terry, 48, who works as a photographer, and his mum Tracy, absolutley are delighted that their son's music is being appreciated by so many people around the world. Toby has always been very passionate about guitar. His father Terry said in a recent press interview. He was always strumming in the back of the car on the way to school. He's only ten, but he's already getting fan mail. It's amazing and we're glad that his music is appreciated by so many people. It is understood Toby's parents are very sensible, level headed people - it was so refreshing to learn, while chatting with Terry on the phone that they are not too pushy stage school parents live their own dreams through their son. They know Toby has a special and unique talent, but they bring him up gently and don't push him too hard at this stage. For Toby, and his parents, the emphasis is on music being fun at all times and him to enjoy the experience rather than grow too fast. TOBY AT GIBSON GUITARSWe asked Terry how he saw Toby's career developing in the next few years: Well, he just turned 10 and he's just like any other 10-year-old - he just happens to have a natural gift with a guitar. He's in a very good school - Crackley Hall School - and they totally support his music. He is already attending Rock School at Princethorpe College two years earlier than usual - a high school he hopes to go to in September 2016. Therefore, his education is very important for us. We want him to be as grounded as possible, but also to give him the opportunity to enjoy the opportunities that he see along the way. There's no pressure on him to do anything at this stage, and apart from going to rock school twice a week and doing his weekly jam, he leads a normal life! We didn't expect the level of support it gets, and some of Facebook's stats are mind blowing. We also get a lot of requests to play at events, so we just have to manage those on a one-to-one basis and keep it fun at this stage. 8 YEAR OLD TOBY LEE PLAYING A BLUES IMPROVISION AT TOWER BRIDGE STUDIOSJANUARY 2014 (VIDEO WAS AS SPECIAL BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR TOBY) We know he doesn't like to sing, but does Toby have any plans to record any instrumental tracks or play a few live shows? He has a nice little voice, but singing blues sounding like a chipmunk doesn't quite work!! I'm sure he'll sing on time. We would like to have it recorded as soon as possible - even just to mark this moment in time. Some time in the recording studio is high on our list - maybe just an EP would be nice. The best we could hope for right now is guest appearances on the show, a guest soloist on other artists' albums and just a good network of friends and mentors who will guide it. Do you hope that he will continue to study music and develop his talents further, or do you see him go out on the road for a few years and make a living out of being a professional concert musician? It would be great if he decided to study music - we have great friends in Boston USA and Toby is fixated on going to Berkeley College of Music - we would fully support this plan in the future! If once in a lifetime the opportunity to come your way earlier, then we will have a lot to think about! Most importantly, we want him to be a child and enjoy his young life - he has plenty of time to work. As parents, you should be thrilled with all the current attention Toby is getting for his musical talents, but are you worried about the consequences that all this early exposure can put on him? How do you go about promoting his talent at the same time its from the less healthy aspects of the music business and all possible media hype? yes, that's great, and it doesn't bother the attention. He only does things things he wants to, and we never force him. At 10 years old, he has no clue about Facebook numbers or the number of comments, but he enjoys what people are so supportive of. Our goal is to surround him with the right people and make sure he has fun and enjoying the process. Where does Toby get his musical talent from? Does Toby have other relatives who are also playing? I would say it was me! But as much as I love guitars, I'm pretty rubbish. I have a few, but now they've been handed over to Toby. I play drums and Toby Tracy's mom plays piano, violin and recently took up the saxophone. Uncle Toby, Nigel Girling is also a great blues guitarist and the two have played together on a number of occasions. If Toby decided in the future to go on a different career and just play guitar for fun, how would you feel? Toby is always free to do whatever he likes - but there is no sign of that option at the moment. How does Toby fit into the music around his school and home life? Does he do all the normal things that any other 10-year-old boy does or is he purely focused on his music? It's a bit of a juggling act, but no different from many of our friends who transfer their kids to football, swimming or rugby clubs and matches. He is very your average boy, a lot of friends, a beautiful girlfriend, he is a very open child and does not play computer games. Our house is full of instruments, so if he doesn't play guitar, he drums his kit or furniture! He has a great sense of humor and loves the world.What was your proudest moment as Toby's parents so far? The day he was born!! ...... It's hard to say he's done so many interesting things so far. We are very proud of him when he plays and you see him go into his own world and not even look at the fret. He's getting much more confident now and it was a proud moment watching him on Gibson Guitar, London last week chatting away to global director Alex Juszkiewicz as they were old buddies. Joe Bonamassa's assertion also takes some beating. It is very clear that this talented young guy, Toby Lee has an exciting future waiting there for him, and great parents who will be there to guide him in all the right directions to make sure he is happy and continues to enjoy playing his music and developing his own style. We can't wait to see how all pan for Toby - one thing for sure, Joe Bonamassa is better looking over his shoulder - Toby Lee may well be playing with him and sharing riffs with him on stage for a few years - and it wouldn't be surprising to see.... The world's most consumed blues guitarist is battling the next possible heir to the throne... We would like to express our deepest gratitude to both Toby and Terry Lee for taking time out to chat us and provide us with some great photos too. We're really watching to share many other Onesie Jam sessions on our social media pages soon - and maybe one day in the future we'll be attending Toby Lee's Sold Gig in London and giving it a stonking 10/10 review!
