A singer and actor, a TV host and author, a BRIT Award winner and a film star – Toyah has worn many hats during a remarkable career spanning more than 50 years. The High Priestess of Punk burst onto the scene in 1976 as she forged dual careers as a musician and actress who featured at The National Theatre and London’s Royal Court. Her role in Quadrophenia made her a household name and soon after she gate-crashed the charts with It’s A Mystery, I Want To Be Free, and Thunder In The Mountains, as the album, Anthem, earned a gold disc, and BRIT Award Best Female as well as a BRIT Nomination for British Breakthrough Act. She married King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp in 1986, and she starred opposite Sir Laurence Olivier and The Who’s Rodger Daltrey, among others. Acting, presenting, performing, headlining tours, and releasing 23 studio albums continued her unique story and now it’s time to reflect.
With a new book in the offing, Toyah is hitting the road for an extensive UK tour in which she’ll sing favourite hits and tell stories from her remarkable career.
Toyah has recorded and released 23 studio albums and six live albums.
The album Anthem was certified Gold and spent 46 weeks on the UK album chart in the 1980s. It returned to the official UK Top 40 album chart in 2022 when it was remastered & reissued. The albums The Changeling and live album Toyah! Toyah! Toyah! were both certified Silver along with Silver-selling singles I Want To Be Free and It’s A Mystery.
Toyah was awarded Best Female Singer at the British Rock & Pop Awards in February 1982. Toyah was also nominated for a BRIT Award for Best Female Singer in the same year.
