Better than Faryl ? That's a brave call but I think you may be right. Well you are echoing my thoughts too Jeff! Could well be! We have heard so little of her of course, but what we have heard is very impressive. I would certainly like to hear a lot more. I certainly wish her all the best for the future. Martin D |

I can't stop listening to "Wild Horses", so hauntingly beautiful. It's funny how sad songs make me feel better yet happy songs make me feel worse but maybe that's just me.

Funny, I felt the same way about "A Bit of Earth" -- I can't stop playing it and I hear something new in it each time. For a real treat, here's a video someone made for YouTube: A Bit of Earth Needless to say, she sure has some pipes! Enjoy! |

Her voice shines through on the new videos. Pity about the piano on two of them though, it was distracting - she would have been better a capella.

After watching the latest videos I think Toni would be great in musicals like Phantom Of the Opera.

Some good news for Toni today: She just signed a contract with Gray Bartlett. This means the fuse is now lit. With her one-in-a-million voice it shouldn't take her that long to become a household name in her home country.

Toni, you are certainly making an impact  . You may have only released a few songs so far, but I have listened to very little else for the past few days. Thank you for the new YouTube videos. Greedy I know, but we still want more  . John |

Toni, to borrow Cheryl Cole's words "You just blew me away !!" I've watched the original "Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones but your version just reaches the parts other performers can't reach ! All the best with your career.

Hello Toni and welcome to the forum from Central England.
Having discovered Hayley some five years ago, and this forum a little later, I have not felt the need for additional musical interests. Seasoned followers of HWI will tell you that I rarely take notice of 'other' singers promoted here because of that, BUT (there's always a 'but' isn't there?)
Despite Nicola saying so in her very first post about you, I hadn't realised until Rob's post that you are also a Kiwi, so I had a look at your site and listened to "Wild Horses" and I have to say you have a gorgeous voice and I am completely blown away by you.
I wish you every success with your career and hope that you get to the UK before too long - like others have said - I would also love to hear you sing with Hayley, that would be amazing!
Lots of Love
Grant

Toni,
May I add my congratulations on your getting proper representation. Your career starts now!
After hearing you singing "Wild Horses" I went back to play the version recorded by another, better known female singer. I have to say there was just no comparison and I stopped it after a few bars.
You really do have a natural talent and I look forward to watching your career develop as I know it will.
You could not find a better role model than Hayley, and I am sure you will meet her before long.
