Tehuti is singer⁄songwriter Toon Vandevorst. Toon was born in the Netherlands some time ago. In adolescence he played the piano, wrote songs (the bad, adolescent kind), got drunk on weekends, and then fell seriously ill at the age of seventeen. After his recovery, he studied classical piano at the Royal Conservatory and went on to have a bit of a career as a pianist, a tenor and a composer, though never turning away completely from pop and jazz. In 2000 his band Dead Parrot recorded an album with original songs. He moved to San Francisco in 2005, where he was a performer of both Early Music and contemporary classical repertoire, and made a living as a music teacher. Two years later he moved to rural upstate New York, where he now lives with his wife and two children. There he turned once more to songwriting, resulting in a first solo album, titled Tehuti. And, by the way, you can buy this album for as little as $7.95.
