Baldemar Silva, Jr. alternately known as Balde Silva or Toby Beau, is an American musician from the state of Texas, and leader of the band Toby Beau. He is most commonly known for co-writing the hit song "My Angel Baby" with Danny McKenna.
Born 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," on the credits to the third album, "If You Believe," it states that "Toby Beau is Balde Silva." In additional work done with other musicians, he is credited as "Toby Beau".
