BIO
Tony! Toni! Toné! were
an American soul/R&B group from Oakland, California, popular
during the late 1980s and early to mid-1990s. During the band's
heyday, it was composed of  D'wayne Wiggins  on
lead vocals and guitar, his brother Raphael Saadiq (born Charles
Ray Wiggins) on lead vocals and bass, and their cousin Timothy
Christian Riley on drums and keyboards.
The album spawned several #1 R&B hits with "It Never Rains
(In Southern California)", "Feels Good", "The Blues", and
"Whatever You Want" all topping the R&B charts. "Feels
Good" was the group's first single to breach the Top 10 of
the Billboard Hot 100 and went gold. Tony! Toni! Toné!
disbanded after the release of their fourth album House of
Music (1996), which critics cite as their best work.
Today the group consists of Elijah Baker, Jubu Smith, Carl
Wheeler, Amar Khalil (a lead singer), and Antron Haile. There
is new music, and the band members are back with two brand
new singles “Trading Places” and “Never Give You Up”! It is
the same band and with its rich original sound. However, the
fans of Tony Toni Tone need to hear the real story of why the
group disbanded. There is a documentary on YouTube that can
provide those answers called Loyalty No Royalty The Breakup
of Tony Toni Tone. The story will be told across many
platforms, radio, film, and television.
The group looks forward to giving back to the fans and getting
back to their first love which is making and producing good
authentic music. Trading Places and Never Give You up can be
downloaded from all music digital outlets. We will see you on a
stage near you very soon!
