Tobias entered the music industry with delivering two compositions for the soundtrack Fontána pre Zuzanu 2, issued via Tommü Records in 1993.[2] While one of those served as her duet with Pavol Habera, the second entitled "Chlap z kríža" was a pop rock-infused track performed solely on her own.[2] Despite the song received much airplay upon its release,[3] her recording career went on hiatus afterwards. By the end of the 1990s, Tobias thus focused primarily on acting, appearing overall in four feature films, such as Let asfaltového holuba (1991), Díky za každé nové ráno (1994), Vášnivý bozk (1995) and Orbis Pictus (1997).[3][4] Her debut album, Divý mak, saw its eventual release on BMG Ariola in 2001.[5] The set with featuring lyrics-driven songs, written mainly by her later spouse Peter Lipovský and Milan Vyskočáni, was viewed as a commercial failure.[6]

Prior to the launching of her next output, Tobias was cast on the screen in Kruté radosti (2002) and Zostane to medzi nami (2003), respectively.[3][4] Musically, she first returned on various artist compilation Tak to chodí (2003), produced by Michal Horáček.[7] Following that, her second BMG album was issued on December 8, 2003.[8] As with her previous release, neither Punto Fijo achieved a presence in the official albums charts. Nevertheless, its ballad repertoire with jazz, folk and ska-inspired music brought Tobias favorable feedback from music critics.[9] In 2006, she appeared as guest on Horáček's follow-up project, Strážce plamene.[10] The multi-platinum compilation[11] and Anděl Awards-nominee for the Album of the Year,[12] included a solo track designed for herself by Petr Hapka — "Na hotelu v Olomouci".[10] The composition wouldn't crack the Rádio Top 100 Oficiální, but her vocal performance has been generally viewed by many as the best of the set, and singer gradually started to gain her own fan base in the Czech Republic.[13]

Accompanied with a line-up of other female vocalists coming from both sides of former Czechoslovakia, Tobias joined Horáček also on his next release Ohrožený druh (2008),[14] which won the 18th Anděl's ceremony.[15] This time around, she contributed with a Czech cover version of Tanita Tikaram's "Twist in My Sobriety" and "Esik az eső, csendesen" by Vyskočáni, sung partly in Hungarian.[14] On November 24, Pod obojím (2008) was released through independent art company Studio DVA,[16] involved exclusively in theatrical productions.[17] Supported by such artist as Richard Müller, her third studio album was produced by Michal Hrubý.[16] After its slow sale, the work was eventually certified Gold by the ČNS IFPI,[18][19] reaching its peak on the local music chart at number #24.[20] Besides, the chanteuse is more often referred to as "The First Lady of Czech Chanson", becoming the successor of critically acclaimed Hana Hegerová, originally also from Slovakia.[21][22] Her fourth chanson standards collection was titled Do vetra, and launched in December 2010.[23] Apart from Lipovský-Vyskočáni both recognized as her regular tandem, for some of new lyrics also Horáček was credited.[23] Along with the album's ten weeks long run on the charts (climbing to number #23),[20] singer embarked on a tour of the same name.[24]

Most currently, Tobias recorded a pop tuned song called "Brehy", issued as the main theme of her latest film Apricot Island (2011).[25] In addition, an acoustic version of the track was attached to her most recent studio set Ať se dobré děje,[26] released to positive reviews on November 21, 2011.[27] As support, promotional EP Vánoční koleda with two previously unreleased tracks, followed simultaneously.[28]
