With natural musical skills that were immediately evident when she started singing in church with her four sisters in Severn, Maryland and inspired by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Anita Baker, Chaka Khan and Whitney Houston, Toni had set her sights on a singing career from her earliest days. It was while studying to become a teacher at Bowie State University that she came to the attention of LaFace owners L.A. Reid and Babyface. Her decade with LaFace was filled with both accomplishment and challenge; while she constantly achieved chart success globally, racking up some forty-million worldwide sales through her five LaFace albums, Toni dealt with a much-publicized bankruptcy in 1997 which she recalled was "a major learning opportunity for me." Resolved in 1998, Toni began her first Broadway run that year with a starring role in "Beauty & The Beast." The 2000 success of The Heat, her third album was typified by Top 10 status in over a dozen countries including the U.S., France, Germany, Holland, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Hong Kong, South Africa, Greece, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Israel and Switzerland. The album's gold single "He Wasn't Man Enough" earned Toni a 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance" while the album won two American Music Awards.

Celebrate Mother's Day

Mothers Day can be a joyous time of celebration for many and for some a sad day. Mothers Day is a great time to stop and express how much you appreciate all that your mother has done for you and the special love that comes from a mother to her child, but what about the people that no longer have their mother here in the physical or have had a difficult relationship with their mother. How do you cope with losing your mom especially on a day that honors mothers? Tonight “Live In The Vocal Booth” we will share are experiences with our mothers and we invite you to call in and share your experience. Whether your mother is living or passed on share with us your special memory and even your sorrow
