Balde Silva, a.k.a. Toby Beau is a musician from the state of , and leader of the Toby Beau Band. He is most commonly known for co-writing the hit song My Angel Baby with Danny McKenna. Born Baldemar Silva, Jr. in Weslaco, Texas to Baldemar and Juanita Silva, he adopted the stage name "Toby" upon being the last man standing after the other 4 band members McKenna, Steve Zipper, Ron Rose, and Rob Young had left after the completion of the band's second album, "More Than A Love Song." Although an early compilation released during the band's "Angel Baby" Tour has a side note, "Toby Beau is a Band, NOT a person," it should be noted that on the credits to the third album, "If You Believe," it clearly states that "Toby Beau is Balde Silva," thus verifying the adopted alias. Silva's stage name is not to be confused with the name of the band of which he is currently the leader. In additional work done with other musicians, he is credited as "Toby Beau."
