Originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba, this natural-born musician learned to play drums, percussion, bass and guitar, and was performing in nightclubs throughout Vancouver….all before his 16th birthday! Having had extensive musical training throughout high-school and college, Toshi had the honour of training with Japanese TAIKO drum teacher, Uzume Taiko and then later became a drum teacher himself at Today’s Music in Coquitlam, BC for 5 years.

In addition to performing and touring with world renowned entertainer Bobby Bruce (AKA Nearly Neil) for over five years, Toshi also enjoyed 2 years on stage playing the role of Random Task in the hilarious Austin Powers stage production “The Shagadelic Swingers Baby Yeah” with Proud & Pennyless Productions. He is now an intricate part of The Moon Coin Productions team, playing percussion, guitar, singing, dancing and acting in both The Shania Experience and ABBA-Cadabra.

Thus far, Toshi’s career has taken him all over the globe including Malaysia, The U.S.A., Canada, and The Caribbean. Some career highlights for this multi-talented entertainer was performing a one-nighter in Maui Hawaii for Washington Mutual Bank, playing at the Grand Casino in Tunica Mississippi and performing in front of 30,000 people at The Olympic Arena in Calgary to bring in the new Millennium.

On his off-time Toshi can be found body building, listening to heavy metal music and impersonating Arnold Schwarzenegger.
