Toma is a singer with a distinctive and easily recognizable style, leaning toward a heavier sound. Following a series of successful concerts and a new band lineup, Toma is now releasing a new single titled "Az Sum/I Am".
Deep disappointment from betrayal, fake friendships and hypocrisy are the themes that inspired Toma and Rumen Gaydev – Garo to write both the music and the rebellious lyrics of "I Am". They add that the song has a single purpose: to show the raw side of rock and roll, to make you reflect on who you are and what price you have to pay after a long journey of self-discovery. In addition to Toma, the song "Az Sum" also features Miroslav Ivanov (guitar) and Alexander Obretenov (bass guitar).
"I Am" is being released just in time to close a chapter in Toma's musical career, which will be marked by a new album.
