Tonoso is the Los Angeles-based live electronic duo of Jacob Grabb and Paul Salerno. They met in a high school jazz band and began making music together in 2018. The duo will release their debut Album Artificial Dreams in 2022. Jacob is a drummer, vocalist, and producer. He is well versed in many different styles, whether he’s DJing at Dirtybird Campout or lending vocals to Cyberpunk 2077. Paul works as a film composer and session guitarist whose work can be heard on projects such as Back 4 Blood, FBI: Most Wanted, Chicago Fire, and many more. He is a producer and multi-instrumentalist who plays guitar, bass, synths, and keys. Their different skill sets create a refreshing perspective on modern dance music.
“Testify” was born at the beginning of the pandemic after live music took a global pause and we were all stuck at home. Embracing the confinement, Jacob and Paul decided to bunker down and focus their efforts on creating their debut album Artificial Dreams.
“Testify” is an anthem for breaking free from the mundane stagnation of the daily grind and learning to have fun. This song is for anyone who spends countless hours engrossed in unfulfilling work. For those who sacrifice their youth for the perceived pleasures of retirement. It’s a message to all who spend long anxious nights, ruminating about the uncertainty of the future. We only live once so you might as well “enjoy the ride.” Inspired by the likes of SG Lewis and Jessie Ware, “Testify” features a future-retro blend of analog synths, electric guitars, and hard-hitting drums.
