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."
