Who is Will Toledo and what is his ethnicity?
Will Toledo was born in the USA, on 23 August 1992 – his zodiac sign is Virgo, his ethnicity is Mexican, and he holds American nationality. He is a singer, who is perhaps known best for being the founding member of the indie rock band Car Seat Headrest.
Childhood and education
Will was raised an only child in the US by his father, who is the owner of a small record store, and his mother who is working for a music recording company.
Will was motivated by his parents to pursue a career as a musician, as there was always music playing at his home such as The Beach Boys and The Beatles, who significantly influenced his style.
He grew up also playing soccer, and he played for both his elementary and high schools teams. Will also became interested in acting, and was a member of his high school’s drama club, but eventually chose to focus on singing rather than on acting.
Upon matriculation in 2010, he started recording his songs with some difficulty in the back seat of a car, which helped him come up with the name for his band.
Career as a singer and the band Car Seat Headrest
During the summer of 2010, Will released four albums for his band of which he was the only member, and then started attending Virginia Commonwealth University.
In November of the same year, he released his debut extended play (EP) “Sunburned Shirts”, followed by his first album – “My Back is Killing Me Baby” – in March 2011.
In early 2012 Will moved to the College of William & Mary, and also released his album “Twin Fantasy”, which follows his relationship with a college girl. A few months later he released two EPs – “Starving While Living” and “Monomania”, and in July 2013 his first live album “Live at WCWM: Car Seat Headrest”, followed in August by his double album, “Nervous Young Man”. In early 2014, he released his EP “How to Leave Town” which was his last solo EP.
After graduating in September 2015, Will announced that he’d signed a contract with Matador Records, and that his band now also comprised Jacob Bloom and Andrew Katz whom he found on Craigslist. However, upon the release of their compilation album “Teens of Style”, Jacob left the band as he enrolled at medical school, and Ethan Ives took his place. On 20 May 2016, the boys’ new album “Teens of Denial” came out, receiving only positive reviews.
Two years later in December 2018, the boys released several new tracks, such as “Weightlifters”, “Hollywood” and “You Know There’s Someone Out There” – all three songs were featured in their June 2019album “Commit Yourself Completely” released.
Car Seat Headrest’s most recent album “Making a Door Less Open”, came out on 1 May 2020, and attracted mixed reviews.
The current members of Car Seat Headrest are Will, Ethan Ives, Andrew Katz and Seth Dalby.
