Career
Tolstoy made her debut in 1994 with the release of her first album Smile, Love, and Spice. Her jazz music gathered much attention due to its Russian and Swedish influence which helped Tolstoy establish her career early on. However, it was the release of her second album For Aslkad that made her popularity soar throughout Europe. In order to further develop her career, Tolstoy began collaborating with many producers and jazz musicians including Svante Thuresson, Ulf Wakenius, Nils Landgren, and Esbjörn Svensson. In 2004, Shining For You, the album that she had collaborated with Esbjörn Svensson, was awarded at the German Jazz Award.

Tolstoy has held numerous tours around Europe and other parts of the world since debuting. Some of her concerts have been held in countries such as Japan, Malaysia, South Africa, and Mexico. Tolstoy is still presently in the music industry where her latest release had been her album Stations (2019). She has occasionally made some appearances on television and radio shows throughout her career including guesting on Big Brother (2000).
