Toni Braxton was born the oldest of five chldren in familly of minister on October 7, 1967 in Severen, Maryland. Because her parents were very religious, Toni grew up singing in the choir at her father's church. She was not allowed to were pants untill high school and forbidden to listen to secular music or watch shows such as Soul Train. Although she was forbidden to listen to secular music. Toni's fondest memories are of "sneaking to watch Soul Train whenever my parents weren't around. " It was these glimpses of secular music that influenced Toni's singing style. It also influenced her skills as a pianist and song writer. Toni graduated from Gien Burnie High School and went on to study teaching at Bowie State University before embarking on her musical career.

Toni made her professional music debut in 1992, on the Boomerang soundtrack. Her comtribution was entitled "Give U My Heart", a duet with producer/recording artiet Babyface.

Babyface's "There's No Me without You" one of her personal favorites, has a simple, plaintive acoustic feel. "Why should I Care" has an old school '70' s flavor, while R.Kelly's "I Don't Want To" offers a broody lyrical response to Toni's 1994 hit, "Just Another Sad Love Song".

I was one of Toni's good friends in school. By the way, it is Glen Burnie Sr. High in Maryland of the same town. If you are reading this, Toni, take a look at your yearbook and see B.L. You have the ability to find me. My mom talks about your days at Bowie often. Hope you get and stay on the right track. Say hi if you ever make it to one of my tourneys.

Is she reslly the best? | Reviewer: Lennon Emmanuel | 5/28/08

Not trying to take anything away from Braxton, I very much respect her career achivements and how she conducts her personal life. The question that I have is that is she really good as we are made to believe by the highly commercialised corporate media in your country? I've listened to her songs with the exception of a few (Breathe Again & The Time Of Our Lives, to mention some) her music is just typical 'overmarketed mediocre music'. What you guys in the States have learned to do is to make high quality crap that you glamourise and you force it down upon us here in the third world countries because we are fascinated by your way of life. Just to prove my point take examples of R.Kelly (from TP3) and Lil Wayne. Toni has got great potential to make great music. She needs to go back to Breathe Again and retrace her footstep from there.

Wonderful singer!!!! | Reviewer: Brianna | 5/25/08

Toni Braxton is honestly one of the best r&b singers of all time!! She deserves way more credit than she gets. I love all of her songs. She is so amazing and I love her voice. Unlike a lot of female singers, she sings about real things.

love the music | Reviewer: Michelle Cunningham | 4/16/08

I loved toni's music when she first came out in 1992. Her voice and style is different from all the other female singers. My favorite album is Libra because there is something for every situtation on the album. If your in a good relationship or a rough one. She needs to come out with another album soon so her music can be enjoyed by all.

Steaming | Reviewer: Murrel | 2/14/08

I am a58 year old man and is very in love with my wife of 38 years but when we went to Vegas to see Toni my wife was determined to get me on stage with her. Even though we lost, that was the best Vegas trip I ever had."I GOT SPANKED BY TONI BRAXTON".She knows how to put on a show.......
