Toyah's father ran a successful joinery business. She attended the private school Edgbaston C of E College where she gained a GCE pass in music and subsequently trained as an actress at the Old Rep Drama School in her home town of Birmingham.
Fronting a band known as Toyah, her singing career was slow to take off and the band released six singles in the UK before finally hitting the charts in 1981, with "It's a Mystery". This was followed by several other huge hits including "Thunder In The Mountains" and "I Want to Be Free". These singles were also successful on an international level. In the early eighties, Toyah also had her own successful make-up range called 'Soul Searches'.
In 1982, she was voted Best Female Singer at the British Rock and Pop Awards — since restyled as The BRIT Awards, or "BRITs" — and in 1986 she married UK guitarist Robert Fripp. She was one of the first acts to score regularly in the UK Singles Chart with EPs. Also in 1986, Willcox sang lead on the Tony Banks track "Lion of Symmetry." In 1987 she made the top fifty with her version of "Echo Beach".
Toyah has released 30 albums (both as a solo artist, and part of groups), 22 of which have been studio albums, 7 of which have been UK Top 40 successes. She has had eight UK top 40 singles.
In 2001, Q magazine named Toyah number 48 in their top 100 Greatest Women in Music poll, as voted for by readers of the magazine.
In 2009, Toyah came 7th in a BBC series naming the 'Queens of British Pop,' as voted for by the British Public.
In 2010, Toyah will perform with her band 'The Humans' at the London Roundhouse 'Haiti Earthquake Fundraiser' concert. She will also be performing both as a solo artist and as part of 'The Humans' on various dates across the UK.
In 2002, Toyah became a prominent opponent of planned accommodation centres for asylum seekers near the Worcestershire village, Throckmorton. Protesting together with more than 1000 villagers, Willcox said, "The villagers are not anti-asylum seekers and they are not racists", adding that "It was not a simple black and white issue."[1] Commenting on the Government's plans to build asylum centres in other rural areas, Toyah said "This is only the first of 15. The sheer scale is mind-boggling. This is a small country - it's all happening illegally."
She continues to perform with her band, releasing a live DVD in 2005, and has a busy schedule with theatre commitments, including appearing on stage in London's West End performing the title role of Calamity Jane at the Shaftesbury Theatre in 2003.
Toyah was approached to tour Estonia by the Estonian ambassador in 2006, where she went on to form new band 'The Humans'

Toyah is currently negotiating a worldwide publishing deal with Zomba. "Latex Messiah" was released as a single on 29 October 2007; the associated album, In The Court Of The Crimson Queen, was released on 12 September 2008.
