Tonya has performed extensively in the South Florida area as well as Atlanta, Las Vegas and New York City. Her experience includes production (music/television/performance), on air talent and studio session work.

“My main love is performing but I did put it aside for a minute to focus on songwriting and studio production. I’ve always felt the more you know the more you are capable of doing.” While in the studio Tonya produced several acts including: King Sandman who scored a deal with a major label and Lo Profile who won a Sony Music showcase performing tunes produced by Tonya.

In the last year, Tonya has performed for dozens of organizations, events and festivals at high end venues including: The Make A Wish Foundation, The Loews Miami Beach, The Biltmore Hotel, Boca West Country Club, Sheraton Bal Harbor and many others. Tonya has written a collection of new songs, and continues to build her library and her fan base.

Tonya’s independent success, with little publicity or marketing, has been the result of relentless live performances, the Internet, and word of mouth. Recent experiences have proven that all the work is paying off. Listeners and critics alike have been responding with enthusiasm. “I’m totally amazed at the response my music has been getting. I started an Internet page on a whim and the funniest thing started happening. Thousands of people started joining my page and requesting to purchase the tunes I posted. I was amazed!”

Tonya’s Internet presence has garnered more than 340,00 profile views and over 34,000 friends on myspace.com/tonya and the numbers are growing everyday. “The internet has been an awesome asset for me. It allows me to reach people all over the world and to receive valuable input and feedback.”
