Songstress/Actress Dominique Toney stop's by LOTL radio to discuss her new album "A Love Like Ours "due out August 2014.  

 

Dominique Toney's musical journey began at the age of 6 when she started playing piano at the acclaimed Colburn School of Music in Downtown Los Angeles. Ironically, it wasn't until she was a senior at New York University that she learned she loved writing music.As the daughter of Kevin Toney, original member of the Grammy-nominated funk group "The Blackbyrds" and Phyllis Toney, wardrobe supervisor to such artists as Diana Ross, Paul McCartney, and Sting, Dominique was exposed to music at a very young age. Some favorite memories growing up include dancing in Paul McCartney's 2005 concert at the Staples Center and sitting in on a business meeting with Berry Gordy.During her freshman year, she discovered that she had vocal nodules and would be required to get surgery to remove the nodes. With her position at school in jeopardy, she quickly determined that she would do anything to continue her studies at NYU. She took a leave of absence from her Musical Theater program, went on vocal rest for 2 months, and got surgery that summer. Through patience and a team of vocal teachers and speech therapists, she was back to full health 8 months later.Since graduating college, she has found herself working as a background vocalist for several artists including Grammy winning artist Ray Parker, Jr. She has recorded demos for Las Vegas Entertainer Clint Holmes and Israeli artist Rita Kleinstein.Having had the opportunity to perform at such venues as the House of Blues, Morongo Casino, Rockwood Music Hall, the Highline Ballroom, Yoshi's Jazz Club, and Joe's Pub, Dominique is excited to release her debut album "A Love Like Ours" on August 12th, 2014 and share what she's been working on for so long!
