Musical style
Tozer had classical training in voice and piano and possesses a deep and rich bass-baritone voice. His composition and piano playing is characterised by a depth of awareness of classic and romantic harmony, as well as counterpoint. He cites his main musical inspirations as Chopin and The Beatles ; from the ages of 9 to 13 he listened to them exclusively, before expanding his influences to The Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Nick Drake and Charles Aznavour as well as jazz singers such as Ella Fitzgerald and Cleo Laine. He now holds George Harrison and Leonard Cohen as his main influences. He describes his music as "cinematic", and the majority of his songs feature the piano as the main instrument, along with violin and double bass.
