Ever wonder why so many Australians become movie stars? One sit down with the boisterous, charismatic and hunky tall drink of water Toby Rand and you can see why - he absolutely oozes the kind of working class, tough guy "it" factor the Aussies are famous for.
But that′s just one of his striking characteristics. What′s the other? Well, he′s something of a major vocal talent, a guy who both raises the roof and tears the house down with his rocking musical attributes. Born in 1977 in Melbourne (his family comes from Wales and England), the youngest of three children, Toby entered the school of rock most likely before he could talk. His older brothers, big time rock and roll fans, exposed him to all kinds of groups, singers, guitarists who would, and did, influence the young man to enter the passion and profession he so excels at today - music.
Extra serious about that music, Toby ditched his University studies once he realized school wasn′t the answer and singing was. He became lead singer for the Melbourne rock group Juke Kartel and has enjoyed the success of writing tunes that have not only energized audiences but been used on surf videos and promotional CDs. Fronting the attention-getting band (and getting a lot of the attention), Toby′s rock outfit has also opened for acts as illustrious as Nickelback, and gigs as big as the Taste of Chaos Tour. Constantly writing and rehearsing, Toby is tireless in his dream to rock bigger, longer and most likely uncut, as he′s found himself in Los Angeles pursuing his dreams.
Currently he’s playing in an acoustic trio while he moonlights for a carpet company. We find this quite fitting since Toby (and sorry, we can′t help but say it) is wall-to-wall rock and roll charisma.
