About me
My name is Melania Jurchita, but my artist name is Mely J, a fusion between my names.
When I sing I feel like I am connecting to my true self, the lyrics that I write are mostly about feelings, or at least that’s where I find my inspiration.
Those feeling then I can transpose them into stories or experiences and that is how a song is born.

About me
I’m Iustin Negru, lead guitar player for TOY. At 23, I picked up a guitar for the first time and I fell in love so bad…since then I never stopped loving this instrument.
Music is where I feel free to express myself through lyrics, a riff, a guitar solo or just playing some chords. I love creating new songs with my bandmates.
As musical influences, I’m inspired my progressive rock from 70’s, 80’s rock, blues and some modern pop. I love Pink Floyd, Genesis, GnR, John Mayer, RHCP and others.

About me
Hello. I’m Alex. I do the drumming. Think of me kinda like Ringo. You need a drummer, and it can’t be someone good. That’s where I come in.
However, I do make up for it with other things, like making the socially anxious and introverted band members feel better thanks to my constant energy and incessant talking.
Musically, I like (and listen to) everything from K-Pop to Hip-Hop and 80s obscure reggae and ska. Good music has no genre.

About me
I encountered music at a very early age, and we’re still trying to figure each other out. The most important thing I’ve learned about music is that it has no language—emotions are enough to understand it. I believe in the unifying power of music. Peace!
