About
Toni Braxton was born on Octber 7, 1967 in Severn, Maryland.Her mother was the one who trained her in her singing prowess. She and her sisters became choir members of a church where their father preached. As a young aspiring singer, she was inspired by her favorite singers Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, and Michael Mcdonald. They were her role models. She pursued her dream and studied music but later dropped out from school when she and her sisters were given a break by Bill Pettaway who signed them up a contract with Arista Records. They released a single called "The Good Life in 1990 which however did not reached the charts.
Babyface, who was a red-hot songwriting/production team and also associated with Arista Records formed their own label called "La Face". Toni then was introduced on the Boomerang Soundtrack of Eddie Murphy's movie,"Love Should Brought You Home" became a hit.
Eventually, Toni made her solo debut album in 1993 and became a hit and stayed number one in the charts for many weeks.
She made her second album, and after that she filed a suit against the La face for releasing her contract.
While waiting for the court's decision, She auditioned in the Broadway of the Disney's Beauty and the Beast and was later chosen to portray the role of Belle. Toni finally reached a settlement with Laface and they agree to released her contract. Toni then began to work her third album under her own production. She also appeared in some hollywood movies.
