About Me

Toni started her career at the age of 7 as a child dancer in professional shows and pantomimes in Sheffield theatres. As a teenager, she went on to work with amateur local theatre groups and continued to dance in cabaret both in England and Portugal. After singing in various pop "cover" acts, Toni started to write and record her own songs with song-writing partner, Andy Littlewood. In 2000, they co-wrote a song with "Indigo Blue" for Edel Records called "My Way Or No Way". This track featured on a Smash Hits compilation album called "Smashin Hits 3" and recently on the soundtrack to the film "The Number One Girl" starring Vinnie Jones. They wrote the winning song of the "2002 UK Songwriting Contest" and have had success in various other contests. In 2003, Toni recorded an album with girl band "Eye Spy" which was released in America through Peacework Records. Her songs have also been covered by various international recording artistes and she co-wrote the song "Come For Air" featured on the 2005 album, "What Would They Say" by "Sundra", which was a Top 40 hit in Japan. Toni is currently a part of the dance act "Angel Eyez" who have had a number of tracks featured on major dance compilations and have performed alongside artistes such as Natasha Bedingfield, McFly, Deepest Blue and Mark Owen. As a solo artiste, she has featured on current releases by Max Porcelli, Joey Riot and Mr Groove. As well as writing and performing her own material, Toni has worked as a session singer for clients such as Steelworks Productions, Tim Kellett, Mike Ward and BMG Japan. She has performed backing vocals on albums by Emma Bunton and S Club Juniors and for "Darius" on "It's Not Unusual" for the "Pop Idol" Tour.
