Tio Toto

Tio Toto is a bilingual children’s music performer who has been enchanting kids and families across Central Texas for over a decade with his unique blend of interactive kids music. Holding the title for the longest-running kids' music residency in Austin, Tio Toto has been a musical staple at Cherrywood Coffeehouse since 2014, turning every performance into a collaborative adventure where the audience becomes the band.

His shows blend family-friendly singalong folk-pop, quirky storytelling, and audience-driven songwriting, where children contribute lyrics and dance moves, transforming each performance into a one-of-a-kind live music experience for kids and their grown-ups.

The magic extends beyond the songs with his Musical Instrument Petting Zoo, where kids explore an eclectic collection of instruments—from kalimbas to Kenyan shakers to the beloved Makey Makey banana piano—sparking joy, curiosity, and confidence in every child.

Looking ahead to 2025, Tio Toto is set to release his first recordings, expanding his reach to new stages, festivals, museums, and libraries while continuing to bring interactive family entertainment to audiences of all ages.
