Toni Braxton

About herself Toni Braxton says that she is just a tadpole, dreaming of becoming a frog. Millions of fans will disagree with this statement. The hit "Un-Break My Heart" alone unconditionally elevated the singer to the rank of a world star, brought first places in the charts and "Grammy". Billboard named the song the most successful single in the history of the existence of its best "100".

Tony Michelle was born in Siverne, Maryland in October 1967. In addition to her, five more children were brought up in the family. Father Michael Konrad was a priest, and the atmosphere in the house was not conducive to social entertainment. Evelyn's mother, a singer, instilled in Tony and the sisters Towande, Trine, Tracy and Taymar a love of music. Teymar is still the lead singer of the family group The Braxtons.

The first success for the girls came in the last grades of school, when a fanatical father allowed some indulgences, and the group began to participate in competitions. Victories followed one after another. Once at a gas station, the sisters met Bill Pattaway, the one who wrote the hit "Girl You Know It`s True" for the pop duo "Millie Vanilli". With his help, the band signed a contract with Arista Records and released their first single.

A decisive role in the formation of Tony as a singer was played by songwriters and producers Kenneth Brian Edmonds aka Babyface and Antonio Reed, who wrote for Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Usher. The musicians liked the girl's voice, velvety, almost masculine, with a low register, and Braxton was offered to start a solo career. With Babyface, Tony programmed success with the compositions "Give U My Heart" and "Love Shoulda Brought U Home".

The singer's first album, named after her, sold 11 million copies. Five songs at once became hits and were released as separate singles. Among them - "Seven Whole Days", "Another Sad Love Song", "How Many Ways". Such a grandiose debut of Tony was marked with three Grammy awards.

In 1996, it was the turn of Braxton's calling card - the song "Un-Break My Heart", with which the performer is still primarily associated. The hit became part of the Secrets album. The title track "You're Makin 'Me High" turned out to be scandalous due to the overt sexuality of the lyrics. The rest of the songs also stayed at the top of the charts for a long time.

In 1998, Tony wished to terminate the contract with the LaFace label, but legal proceedings led the singer to bankruptcy. The producers took pity and renegotiated the agreement on more lenient terms. Braxton released her third album, "Heat", and also performed on Broadway, becoming the first of her ethnicity to participate in a Disney musical.

The record was assisted by Rodney Jerkins, who was involved in the success of the Spice Girls and Britney Spears. The video for the song "He Wasn't Man Enough" was nominated for the MTV Video Music Awards and the Billboard Music Video Awards. And the ballad "Ukulele" won the Soul Train, American and British Music Awards.

In 2000, Tony was a guest on Superbowl XXXIV Half Time Shows alongside Phil Collins, Enrique Iglesias and Christina Aguilera. A few years later, another conflict with the producers followed, the commercial failure of the album "More Than a Woman".

The album "Libra" Braxton recorded already on the new label. In between albums, the singer starred in the television movie "Kevin Hill".

The seventh studio album "Pulse" was presented by Braxton only in 2010. Later, rapper Trey Songz, best known for the movie "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and the soundtrack to "Fast and Furious 7", released a sensual video in which he sang the song "Yesterday" as a duet with Tony.

Tony, like any woman, dreamed of a husband and children, of a strong and friendly family. In 2001, the singer married a member of the Mint Condition group Keri Lewis, with whom she lived for 12 years and gave her beloved two sons - Denim-Kai and Diesel-Kai Braxton-Lewis. However, the artist's sad revelations soon followed, which the woman shared with the audience at the concert. It turned out that the youngest son Tony has autism. The child could be fully adapted if the disease was detected in a timely manner, but, according to the mother, the doctors were late.

Later, apparently to be completely honest, the celebrity reported that she had an abortion on the rise of her career, and the events that followed were the reckoning for unrighteous acts. In 2007, Tony underwent surgery to remove the tumor. A year later, the singer announced another diagnosis - increased capillary fragility.

There was a question about heart transplantation, but it cost with medication support, however, lifelong. In 2010, Braxton announced that she had lupus erythematosus. A celebrity often ends up in the hospital due to exacerbations, sometimes concerts have to be canceled, and a personal doctor is present on the backstage tour.

However, health problems did not make Tony give up the joys of life. In 2016, the soul star began to be noticed in the company with rapper Birdman, in the world, Brian Williams. The singer met him back in 2003, while working together on the song Baby You Can Do It. At the beginning of 2018, on the air of the author's television show Braxton Family Values, Tony announced that she and Brian decided to get married.

Singer on the zodiac sign of Libra, and therefore a contradictory nature, but at the same time striving for harmony and balance. Tony learned a lesson from the tragic moments in her life. Now in the first place is not popularity, but charity. Braxton, despite having twice filed for personal bankruptcy, donates substantial funds to Autism Speaks and the American Heart Association for autism and heart disease.

On the Instagram page, Tony states that she is primarily a mother, and in an interview she admits that she would never want to be faced with a choice between stage and motherhood.

Tony is not seen in scandals, unless it is about the cleanliness of the hotel room. Then the star may demand to move her to another hotel, a higher rank. To the delight of the haters, Braxton was suspected of resorting to plastic surgery to tweak the shape of her nose and chest, and of being a man in the past. This is due to the unique timbre of the voice, which is easily misleading, especially if you do not see the singer.

The total circulation of Toni Braxton's discs exceeds 60 million, and the press no, no, and will call the singer a great loser. The biography of the seven-time Grammy winner is like a roller coaster, but Braxton admits that she would not change anything either today or in the past. The ups and downs, personal and professional, have shaped the Tony that fans love and appreciate.

In 2017, Braxton again had the opportunity to be an actress. The singer played in the drama "Faith Under Fire" the school accountant Antoinette Tuff. The film is based on the events that took place in August 2013 in Georgia.

Then a white man, armed with a submachine gun, took hostage the students of Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy, in which the majority were black children, and opened fire on the police. Tuff displayed remarkable composure and persuaded the raider to surrender.

In the spring of 2018, after eight years of silence, Braxton presented a new solo album entitled Sex and Cigarettes. The title track, Deadwood, drew a flurry of enthusiastic responses and reminded the former Tony of the 90s.

The celebrity released the song "Foh" in collaboration with Bebifeis. Previously, with one of the most successful R&B producers, Braxton recorded the studio album Love, Marriage & Devorce.

On the cover of the album, the singer is depicted in a revealing outfit. Braxton, who celebrated the round anniversary, showed excellent physical shape (weight 48 kg with a height of 157 cm). The commentary on the disc was Tony's words that she has become older and wants to tell her feelings uncensored.
