ABOUT

British singer/songwriter and pianist Tophy Dye trained at Leeds Conservatoire. His self-penned debut album 'Skeletons' also co-produced by Dye was released at the end of 2021.

Stylistically, the album is eclectic, incorporating folk, rock, pop, jazz and classical styles with one track even featuring Gregorian chant. At the centre is Tophy's storytelling, his piano, and the stark and sometimes brave subject matter.

Dark coming of age track 'I Will Be Your Child Tonight' deals with sexual exploitation while pop track 'Marmalade', recently a club smash after being remixed by 7th Heaven, provides light musically to some of the darker parts of the album. Elsewhere, Tophy covers teenage crushes, homophobic bullying, bereavement, and relationships with an unapologetic honesty reminiscent of early Joni Mitchell or Tori Amos.

‘Skeletons’ is out now to stream and download, and on CD with 28-page full-colour booklet featuring photography by David Angel and illustrations by Jeanette Clement.
