George Tossan’s musical career began over 35 years ago, in the era of Doors, Steely Dan, CSNY, James Taylor, and of course, The Beatles. As a young teenager playing in several rock and accoustic-rock bands, he pursued playing amateur contests and charity concerts. Soon his band made in-roads to gigs at nightclubs, larger concerts, and eventually television. This musical journey went on a hiatus when a university education got in the way, but now after a long wait, George has finally arrived at his “second life” - having worked a long career as a finance professional, he has recently retired to continue his life passion in music while pursuing part time consulting.

George has worked and traveled around the four corners of the world, he has now settled in Scottsdale, Arizona, In 2002 he began to get back into music. Soon, he had completed an elaborate recording studio in his home and began creative experiments in musical compositions as well as sound engineering to master the latest DAW-based digital and analog techniques.

The results so far has been the production of 4 albums, 2 of which feature his original compositions - Second Life, released in fall 2002, and Hold Nothing Back, released in October 2003, +3bd, released in 2004. The Lifeless Riot album, a band he formed, played and produced for was released in August 2006. The latest album was as co-writer and producer on Nicole Cassese's Album - Everybody Get Free, released in 2009.

George’s musical style is influenced by both his deep roots while growing up with the music of James Taylor, CSNY, Doors, Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, America, Cream, Fleetwood Mac, as well as more current work of Radiohead, John Mayer, Coldplay, U2, Shinns, Duncan Sheik and may others. It seems all these years in sabatical has stored up inside him tremendous musical energy and creativity. His songs seem to pour out in unending gushes, each song touches a deep and personal part of his life. His songs are both musical and lyrical, some are infused by George’s passion for the acoustical guitar, some his penchant for drum and beat. George’s musical versatility extends beyond the norm … he is comfortable behind a set of drums, a bass, an accoustic, electric or even classical guitar, and a keyboard. In many of his work he has been a one-man band playing all parts, producing, mixing, engineering, and mastering. His melodic vocal style resonates through many of his work and reach deep.

George loves to record and produce for young indie artists and has garnered many tools and techniques to help these artists get their music out and their careers launched.
