ABOUT ME
Hey, I’m Toby Johnson, and I specialise in visual creation with over 16 years of experience in Adobe Creative Cloud, focusing on graphic and motion design. My background as a solo artist in the music industry, where I’ve gained over 15 million streams worldwide, has shaped my approach to visual storytelling. Touring across Europe and collaborating with artists globally has shown me the impact of visuals, inspiring me to dive deeper into the world of design.
These days, I work with artists, labels, and brands to create visuals that truly connect with their audiences. From animated releases and 3D modelling to motion graphics and social content, I bring a blend of creativity and technical know-how to each project.
Whether it's through a graphic design, a dynamic video, or a detailed 3D animation, my aim is to deliver visuals that work.
I’ve had the chance to collaborate with labels like Marathon Artists and Mahogany Recordings, producing visual content for their release campaigns and social media. I’m always on the lookout for new projects and collaborations, so if you’re looking for creative support, whether freelance or as part of a team, please don't hesitate in getting in touch.

CHAOS - Toby Johnson
The official music video for my track Chaos, released through Mahogany Records. Filmed in a warehouse in East London in collaboration with the Big Fat Creative media team, this video captures the essence of 'Chaos Theory,' illustrating how small changes can create major ripple effects. The BFC team skillfully used diverse lighting techniques to bring this concept to life, resulting in a striking and dynamic visual experience.

Tiny Fires - Toby Johnson
The official music video for my track Tiny Fires, filmed on the Baumber Estates in Lincolnshire. This video explores a personal narrative, as I symbolically cover old photos in flammable fuel and walk away with a fuse wire, representing a farewell to a past life. The visuals reflect the theme of letting go, using fire as a metaphor for moving forward and closing the door on what once was.
Mahogany Session - One Mississippi & Boutique Taberna
In an abandoned warehouse, as part of the Mahogany Sessions, I perform intimate, stripped-back versions of my songs One Mississippi and Boutique Taberna. The raw acoustics and minimalist setting amplify the emotion and depth of each track, creating a captivating and immersive experience.
