BIOGRAPHY
|
Born in Germany Tolga began to feel his musical interests by the age of
17. Influenced by different artists like Dennis Brown & Garnet Silk
and mainly Yah Meek he soon developped his own style. But Yah Meek was
his tutor who introduced him into the jamaican Lifestyle. By the time
he hooked up with other artists who are successfully involved in the
Dancehall business like germanys wellknown artist Gentleman or one of
the topclass singers and producers named Richie Stephens.
Gentleman launched a heavily rotated Track (Heat of the night) in 1999
where Tolga was involved. Their common video was shot in Jamaica along
with Richie Stephens; Title went on heavy rotation in the local
jamaican TV-music stations. Mighty Tolgas career was strongly
influenced by Gentlemans first album single “Heat of the night” and
their teamwork helped open up business connections.

While he was joining several Shows with Soundsystems like Pow Pow
(Cologne), Soundquake (Detmold) and many others, he withdraw the
attention of different
Labels and Record Companys. While he starterd to work on his debut
album (1998) , he toured a lot on small and bigger shows with different
soundsystems.
He decided to launch his debut album (Now that I am here) in
October 2000 with Warner Music Germany. For this debut, he recorded and
worked with artists like Lady Saw, Lexxus, General Degree, Gentleman
and many more. the songs were produced by big names like Richard Browne
and other producers out of Europe (Roger & Shorty, Pionear). At the
same time, dancehall had a big success in germany, so his debut was
also a success and confirmation of his style.
