BIOGRAPHy

Toto released its self-titled debut album in October 1978, and it hit the Top Ten, sold two-million copies, and spawned the gold Top Ten single, “Hold the Line.” Toto IV (April 1982) was a multi-platinum Top Ten hit, featuring the number-one hit, “Africa,” and the Top Tens “Rosanna” and “I Won’t Hold You Back.” Toto’s fifth album, Isolation (November 1984), went gold, and the band continued to release records through the ’90s. Meanwhile, the group members continued to do session work, contributing significantly to the sound of mainstream pop/rock. In early 2006, Toto released Falling in Between on the Italian label Frontiers, their first album of new material since 1999. The album received very positive reviews from both critics and fans, some even saying that it was the best Toto album since Toto IV. More recently, in 2015, they released Toto XIV. Toto continues to tour and draw big crowds all over the world.
