Toby’s first album’s first single, “Me Without You” looks at the importance of God in one’s life. He wrote the song from the perspective of who he might be without his faith in Jesus. The result is an inspired bit of songwriting. “I’d be a mess,” he says with sarcasm. “I’d be insecure and probably doing all the wrong things.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88cbhZrv YsI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88cbhZrv YsI

Toby has a family of five kids, family is a cornerstone of Toby’s life, so it’s fitting he titled a song as such on Eye On It. But “Family” isn’t an exaltation of his wife and children—instead, it’s a glimpse into the everyday disagreements between two people who love each other. “The song ‘Family’ comes from personal experience. There are many times my wife and I are sitting there, with a wall between us, trying to figure out how we can get back to being unified. Inevitably, what penetrates the wall is that we both want the same thing: preserving our love, our family and our faith in God. We are on the same side,” Toby http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdHw eNVxk0A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdHw eNVxk0A
