Born in Germany
Tolga began to feel his musical interests by the age of 17 ? Influenced by different artists like Dennis Brown & Garnet Silk he soon developped his own style. By the time he hooked up with other artists who are successfully involved in the Dancehall business like germany´s wellknown artist
Gentleman or one of the topclass singers and producer´s named Richie Stephens.
Gentleman launched a heavily rotated Track (Heat of the night) in 1999 where
Tolga was involved. Their common video was shot in Jamaica along with Richie Stephens; Title went on heavy rotation in the local jamaican TV-music stations.
Tolga´s career was strongly influenced by
Gentleman´s first album single “Heat of the night” and their teamwork helped open up business connections. While he was joining several Shows with Soundsystems like Pow Pow (Cologne),
Soundquake (Detmold) and many others, he withdraw the attention of different Label´s and Record Company´s. While he starterd to work on his debut album (1998) , he toured a lot on small and bigger shows with different soundsystems. He decided to launch his debut album (Now that I am here) in October 2000 with Warner Music Germany. For this debut, he recorded and worked with artists like
Lady Saw,
LEXXUS,
Degree,
Gentleman and many more. the songs were produced by big names like Richard Browne and other producers out of Europe (Roger & Shorty, Pionear). At the same time, dancehall had a big success in germany, so his debut was also a success and confirmation of his style. Several other 7” releases were released, like “Leave it onto him” on the “Superior” riddim produced by Pow Pow in Febuary, also “Don´t let go” on the “Truth” riddim produced by Kingstone in April.
