An American contemporary artist and music producer, Toro is also the author of several books, including HEAL, a memoir documenting his journey from childhood sexual ritualistic abuse to a “painful yet magical” healing process. “When someone invites art and music into their life, they open their eyes to a transcendent beauty,” Toro explains. “That relationship with beauty then expands, opening a path toward a better life.” Jimmi Toro’s latest album and fine art series of paintings, The Thawing, is a sonic and visual exploration of the healing transition from a fragmented state of trauma to a state of wholeness. In the spirit of the great Romantic composer Chopin, Toro uses only the piano on the album to navigate the “thawing” journey from isolation to connection.
