- Birth nameAmon Adonai Santos De Araujo Tobin
- Amon Tobin was born in Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He is known for The Italian Job (2003), The Mechanic (2011) and Closer (2004).
- Became infatuated with American jazz music, and his collection of old mixers and samplers led him to his first three Jazz infused releases.
- [on why he does what he does]: Looking at the sea of people playing instruments I realised that that wasn't necessarily the way to do something new or exciting, even though it is usually enjoyable to play in a band with other musicians. When I started thinking of making music I wanted to do something that was, maybe, a bit special.
