After winning the show he signed a recording contract with Simon Cowell at Syco Entertainment and was invited to perform on the Royal Variety Show broadcast to a global audience of over 150 million. Tokio co-produced the Artists for Grenfell charity single in support of The London Community Foundation, his highly acclaimed debut album released in 2017 titled ‘Our Generation’ was BRIT Certified GOLD and reached #4 in the UK album charts, (the first pianist to achieve this since the legendary Robert Miles). Tokio has performed twice with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall and delivered sold-out UK & Ireland tours in 2018 and 2019, selling out prestigious venues including Printworks, The Shepherds Bush Empire and the O2 Forum. He has also performed sell-out shows at Edinburgh Festival, supported by Radio 2 and BBC Sounds.
