Toni Michelle Braxton was born October 7, 1967 in Severn, Maryland. She grew up singing with her sisters and in the church choir. Her father, a preacher, had banned all pop music in the home but that didn't stop Toni and her sisters from watching Soul Train on TV when their parents were out of the house. As a result, Toni soon discovered her own music talent.

Toni's first appearance on the pop and R&B charts came with two singles, "Love Shoulda Brought You Home" and a duet with Babyface called "Give U My Heart". Her debut LP "Toni Braxton" was realeased in 1993. The next singles released were "Another Sad Love Song" and "Breathe Again" which ruled the charts. The success didn't slow down when the 1994 hits "Seven Whole Days," "You Mean The World To Me," "How Many Ways" and "I Belong To You" were realeased. She was a top selling artist when she went back in the studio to record her sophmore album.

Being a mother slowed Toni's career down, but not for long. In the summer of 2002 she starred in the VH1 movie "Play'd" and she started to record her fifth album entitled "More Than A Woman." She also released "Ultimate Toni Braxton" which is a compilation of hits with two new songs, "Whatchu Need" and "The Little Things."
