BIO: Toni Childs is an Emmy Award Winner and has been nominated for three Grammys. Childs' debut album, Union (1988), was recorded over a two year period in Hollywood, London, Paris, Swaziland. Time Magazine wrote: "In a year of auspicious breakthroughs for women writer-performers, Childs was the standout." The New York Times called Childs "one of the most promising among a new generation of composers and performers." Not unexpectedly, she earned Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Rock Vocal Performance (Female). Her first tour? Opening for Bob Dylan."It was all very scary-a roller coaster," she says. "Music is such a personal thing for me and I'm a very private person. I thought I wanted to be seen and then I realized I didn't want that at all."1991's House of Hope had a very different take on life. "The first album was joy and love. But we're not all light, and my darkness had to have a voice. Some people asked, 'Why so dark?' That confused me because I didn't think it was a negative. I thought it was courageous saying what I saw, living past it and letting it go. I'm very proud of it."The album (whose title song was heard in the film Thelma and Louise) was dedicated to "people who are growing, people who are just getting by, and people hanging on for dear life." Touring Australia, Childs found that description encompassed an audience even more diverse than she imagined. "This gray-haired older woman at an airport x-ray machine referred to the song 'I've Got To Go Now' and said, 'You wrote my life!'" Toni says of her Australian shows: "There'd be a guy with long red hair and a beard singing his heart out to 'Stop Your Fussin.' On the other side of the stage a housewife, and up front two kids with spiked hair."The Woman's Boat, brought her to Geffen Records. Released in 1995, the single "Lay Down Your Pain" earned Toni her third Grammy nomination, for Best Female Rock Performance.V-Day Founder/Artistic Director and Playwright “The Vagina Monologues” Eve Ensler and Childs met in early 2003 at V-Day Kauai. Ensler was already a big fan of Toni’s - the impact of Childs’ music on her life has been profound and a lifeline. By night’s end, Ensler found herself asking Toni to write an anthem for Until The Violence Stops. “Because You’re Beautiful” is the result and received the 2004 Emmy award for “Outstanding Music & Lyrics.”Most recently, Childs' has recently recorded a new offering entitled, Keep the Faith. Childs' said, "This is an apt title given personal and world events. Keep the Faith is slated to be released sometime this year. "We promise to keep you posted."
