2010–2014: Lo-fi and solo releases, from 1 to How to Leave Town. Car Seat Headrest began as the solo project of singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Will Toledo (born William Barnes) shortly after he graduated high school.

Why did Will Toledo change his name?

RM: Why the stage name "Toledo?" Toledo: It's my mom's maiden name. When I started out, there was another Will Barnes, and Toledo sounded better. So that's what I went with.
