When 13-year-old Toby Schlosser stepped onto the stage of The Voice Kids Germany in 2023, he didn’t just sing — he moved people. With soft-spoken confidence and a voice full of emotion, Toby quickly became one of the show’s most memorable talents.

During his blind audition, he performed Adele’s “Easy On Me” with such control and feeling that all eyes were on him. But it was his knockout round performance of “Arcade” by Duncan Laurence that truly set him apart. The song, already famous for its emotional depth and Eurovision win, found new life through Toby’s voice. His delivery was delicate and powerful at once — a mix of innocence and pain that gave the song new meaning.

The audience and coaches alike were visibly moved. He wasn’t just singing; he was telling a story, one filled with longing and vulnerability. His coach, Wincent Weiss, was so impressed that he sent Toby straight to the finals.

In the finale, Toby returned with “Never Enough” from The Greatest Showman, once again showing his remarkable vocal range and emotional strength. Though he didn’t win the competition, he had already won hearts across Germany and far beyond.

What Is Toby Schlosser Doing Now?

After the show ended, Toby returned to his home in Northamptonshire, where he’s continued to pursue music with even more passion. Still only a teenager, he remains focused on school but is also dedicating time to developing his voice and songwriting skills.

Friends, family, and fans continue to support him, and his time on The Voice Kids has only strengthened his dream of becoming a professional musician. He’s shared in interviews how the experience helped him believe in himself more — not just as a singer, but as a storyteller.

Away from the spotlight, Toby enjoys normal teenage life — hanging out with friends, playing tennis, and dreaming big. But make no mistake: he’s still working hard behind the scenes. With his talent, humility, and drive, it’s only a matter of time before we hear more from him.

What made Toby’s “Arcade” performance so unforgettable wasn’t just the vocals — it was the feeling behind every word. You could see the connection in his eyes and hear it in his voice. That kind of authenticity is rare, especially from someone so young.

Even now, clips from his audition continue to circulate on social media, gathering millions of views. Viewers from around the world comment on how moved they were, how they felt goosebumps, how a 13-year-old boy managed to express something so universal — heartbreak, hope, and healing — all in one song.

Toby’s story isn’t just about talent; it’s about heart. And that’s why, long after the season ended, people are still watching. Still listening. Still feeling.
