Toby Schuetgens: The Sound of a Self-Built Life.
Welcome. I'm Toby. For years, I pursued a life defined by honest work, which eventually led me to the forge and this homestead. My music is the documentation of that journey. It's the sound of the steel cooling, the horses running, and the philosophy that allowed me to trade the constant paycheck for genuine independence. If you want to know who I am, start with the songs that document the struggle and the payoff.

A Hard-Earned Anthem for the Independent Soul.
Toby Schuetgens' 'High and Low' is a powerful modern country ballad that speaks directly to the core struggle of the modern man: balancing success with the relentless grind. The lyrics dive deep into the reality that "there is no one without the other" (high/low, light/dark), validating the listener's journey. This is a song for the "TS Homestead Nation"—the self-reliant, the hard-working, and the resilient. It’s a gut-check track with a motivational message, ideal for storyteller playlists or those built around themes of freedom and resilience. No Games. No Fakes. Just the Fire Within.

OUT NOW: 'Echoes of Yesterday'
Echoes Of Yesterday
You're a product of every fire you've walked through. Every memory, every choice, every battle fought. That's what this song's about—the Echoes of Yesterday that make you who you are today.
I put everything I had into this one. Heavy guitars, punchy drums, and a story about embracing the past without letting it hold you back. This is for all of you who refuse to compromise and are ready to stand strong.
Fire it Up! The new single is coming soon.
The Code That Builds More Than Just Songs.
The music, the forging, the horse training—it's all held together by a Code of Honor. It’s the single set of principles I used to organize my time, my work, and my life to achieve sovereignty. It’s what allowed me to quit my day job and focus on fulfilling moments. I share this exact blueprint with my community. You can start with the foundation today.

From Principle to Artifact: The Work That Lasts.
My life's work is guided by the simple belief that integrity is the same in a song, a piece of steel, and a life plan. If you want the full blueprints, the exclusive Artifact Knives, and direct access to my ongoing projects on the homestead, you can join the full community.
