Biografie
Toy-Box is a Danish pop group. It consists of two members, both vocalists: Anila Mirza and Amir El-Falaki. Anila was born October 8, 1974 in Hillerød, Denmark to a half-Pakistani, half-Persian mother, and an Indian father. Amir was born August 12, 1973 in Copenhagen, Denmark to Moroccan parents. In 1999, they had huge success in the Scandinavian music.
"Tarzan & Jane" was championed by Smash Hits magazune in the United Kingdom in 1999, but their UK label edel decided to hold back the release until later on in the year, to coincide with the release of Disney's Tarzan movie. They elected to release "Best Friend" first; although it received a lot of rotation on TV channel The Box, it reached number 41 in the UK singles chart, and plans to release "Tarzan & Jane" were cancelled.
Toy-Box's first album, FanTastic, included the smash hits "The Sailor Song", "Best Friend", "Super-Duper-Man", "Teddy-Bear" and "Tarzan & Jane", Although some parents found the lyrics to "the sailor song" a little rude for young children. It was released in September 1999 and followed in 2001 by a second album, Toy Ride, which included fan-favorite songs "www.girl", "Prince of Arabia" and "Wizard of Oz".
Amir has since worked as a dance teacher, music video choreographer and trainer to F.C. Copenhagen's cheerleading team. Anila later changed her name to Aneela and began a solo career. When asked about another Toy-Box release, Aneela said, "I don't know, anything's possible." And perhabs that time has come now.
At the moment there is a lot of rumours, going on in Copenhagen music studio ,environment, that toybox is actually together againg working on 3 brand new songs, that will be released on there greattest hits. But both Aneela and Amir will not say to much at the moment... so time will show....
Their song "Tarzan and Jane" is often mis-credited to Aqua, as is "Best Friend" due to the likenesses between the vocals of Anila and Lene Nystrøm Rasted, and Amir and René Dif. Toy-Box are occasionally mis-credited with the song "Butterfly" by Smile.dk and "Romeo and Juliet" by S.O.A.P. largely due to distributions of the song on peer-to-peer networks being tagged as by the group.
