ABOUT ME

Hi!

I’m Tolgá J. Tahsinov also known as TOGGY – a writer with five published books, a guitarist shaped by seven years of strings and stages, and a producer who builds his own sound from the first note to the final master.

My work moves between words and music. I write stories, poetry, and lyrics. I craft songs, arrange them, and mix them until they breathe. I give voice to ideas – whether through the guitar, the piano, the mic, or the blank page.

I also explore acting and modeling for screen projects, adding another layer to the way I express and inhabit characters.

Everything I create carries one intent: to turn emotion into form and give it a life of its own.

As a writer, I speak through pages. I’m the author of “Melancholic”, “Letters”, “Tamed”, “Purgatory” – originally written in Bulgarian, translated into different international languages and my latest book “On The Way” – published in Bulgarian, and awaiting official physical publication in English.

My work moves between poetry, introspection, and the quiet corners of human experience. I help others shape their stories too – from the first spark of an idea to a polished manuscript.

Whether you need original text, editing, or guidance through the whole creative process, we can build it together.

Books

I’m a self-taught string musician who first touched a guitar at fifteen, then left it waiting for years – until something in me insisted I return. When I picked it up again, the path unfolded on its own.

I learned my favorite songs, then learned how to bend them, break them, and improvise around their edges. Curiosity pulled me into recording, composition, and eventually into full music production – shaping sound from raw idea to finished track.

That journey still grows every day, through guitar, piano, voice, and the constant urge to create something honest.

Events & Literary Gatherings

I actively organize and take part in literary and creative events together with fellow authors and cultural organizers. Alongside collaborative formats, I also host solo book presentations, carefully curated with a structured program, atmosphere, and catering – turning each event into an experience, not just a reading.

Over the years, these gatherings have traveled through many of the country’s major cities, meeting readers face to face and building a living dialogue around books and storytelling. My intention is to expand this journey – more frequent events, new locations, and stages both in Bulgaria and abroad.

Traveling, connecting with other writers, readers, and supporters of literature is an essential part of my creative process. Stories are born on the page, but they truly come alive when shared.
