Nigerian Idol Finalist and Chocalate City First Lady, TONII, who released two singles barely two weeks after she exited the reality TV show is currently making waves in the Nigerian Music industry. Both songs - "Iwo Ni Ma Ba lo" and "I Rule", solely written and composed by the artiste, clearly project her versatility in pop, R&B and soul.

[color=orange]In September 2010, just before she auditioned for the Nigerian Idol contest, Tonii thrilled friends, family and guests from the music industry and media agents at her debut performance held at De Marquee restaurant and lounge bar, an upscale entertainment and relaxation spot in Victoria Island, Lagos. The event was sponsored by Martini and Bacardi.

Born as Oluwatoni Afolayan and raised in the quiet town of Ilorin in Kwara State Nigeria where she also bagged a BSc in Microbiology from the University of Ilorin, Tonii started singing at an early age and has since been trained by renowned musicians including Peter King, the legendary jazz artist and saxophonist, under whose tutelage she honed her vocal and piano skills.
