Toni Braxton Bio
Toni Michelle Braxton was born on October 7, 1967. Toni is an American R&B singer-songwriter and actress. Braxton has won six Grammy Awards and has sold over forty million records worldwide. Her number-one single, "Un-break My Heart", is the second biggest selling single by a female singer in Billboard history. Braxton has a contralto vocal range.
Braxton topped the Billboard 200 with her 1993 self-titled debut album and continued that streak with her second studio album Secrets, which spawned the number-one smash hit "Un-Break My Heart". After filing for bankruptcy, Braxton returned with her chart-topping third album, The Heat. Her most recent albums were More Than a Woman, her last release under the Arista label, and Libra, her first and only release on Blackground.
Braxton was involved in the 7th season of the reality show Dancing with the Stars. Her professional partner was Alec Mazo. She was eliminated from the show on October 21, 2008 on Week 5 of the competition. She was confirmed to be one of the headliners for the Dancing With The Star Winter Tour.
Toni's father was a clergyman, and the Braxton kids were raised in a strict religious household. Braxton's first performing experience was singing in her church choir. She attended Bowie State University to obtain a teaching degree but decided to sing professionally after she was discovered by an industry insider who heard her singing to herself while pumping gas.
