Love embarked on his solo career.[3][4] Living in the same neighborhood as the group, he became close friends with the member "Mikey", who later asked Love to join.[3]

Toby Love is recognized as the artist that made the subgenre of crunkchata popular.[1] As the result of having recorded half of his debut album in Miami, Love became a fan of crunk music, and incorporated it into his bachata music.[1]

Love produces the majority of the music used in his albums, along with co-producer Eddie Perez.[1]
