Toomas Kirotar

Music has been the central focus of my professional life for the past nine years. I perform live because it is genuinely the most fulfilling work I have ever done, and I continue to find new ways to stay inspired by it every day. Live performance, for me, is about connection — reading a room, responding musically in the moment, and creating an atmosphere that feels natural, engaging, and authentic. No two performances are ever the same, and that is what keeps the work exciting and meaningful. I became qualified as a musician primarily through extensive real-world experience and consistent practice. While I studied briefly at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance, I ultimately chose a path focused on performance-based learning. Over the years, I have played thousands of live shows across a wide range of settings, which has given me a deep practical understanding of what is required to deliver professional, reliable performances. Along the way, I have developed strong skills in rhythm guitar, singing, harmony, and music theory, as well as expanding my musicianship to include percussion, particularly cajón. This combination allows me to support songs dynamically, lock in with other musicians, and adapt quickly to different performance situations. Vocally, I am an experienced singer with nine years of full-time performance behind me, and I also sing in a high-level choir, The London Contemporary Voices choir. This has strengthened my sense of pitch, blend, timing, and harmony, and has translated directly into more controlled and expressive solo and ensemble performances. Rhythm is a key part of my musical identity, both as a guitarist and as a cajón player, and I take pride in providing solid, musical foundations that enhance the overall sound. Some of my performance highlights include opening for Gio Dara, performing with Johan Sätre (aslo known as Satre) , and working with Atticus Blue (also known as Ruben from the band Ruben & Gotxi). In addition to these, I have collaborated with many outstanding musicians who may not be widely known but operate at a very high professional level. These experiences have helped shape my musical instincts and reinforced the importance of professionalism, preparation, and musical sensitivity. Whether performing solo or alongside other musicians, I approach every engagement with care, consistency, and respect for both the music and the audience. My goal is always to deliver performances that feel confident, musical, and genuinely enjoyable — for listeners and collaborators alike.
