Toy Boat

Toy Boat is the performing persona of Erik (they/he), a nomadic van-dwelling producer, composer, and DJ who’s genre tastes are as diverse as the multiple places they call home. Growing up in a family of classical musicians and singers, they played in orchestras and marching bands in Colorado, and acted in musicals in Missouri. In college, electronic music provided an escape from homework, and Toy Boat began DJing trance and progressive house at nightclubs in St. Louis, MO. It wasn’t until years later, after burning out on a successful acting career, that Toy Boat started earnestly pursuing a professional life in music. DJing house sets at small bars and art galleries around Seattle, Toy Boat also honed their production skills as a sound designer for local theaters. With
