and American Music Awards and many others.
She has been one of the top selling female artists
in history with over 70 million albums sold.
But, it wasn't just her talent that allows her
to still make headlines.
It's also hurting incredible work ethic.
Toni was determined to show the world
that she wasn't just a powerful voice,
but she was a force in different forms of entertainment,
making it to eighth place on the seventh season
of "Dancing with the Stars,"
Toni began appearing more in front of the camera.
Toni has been appearing in movies
and TV shows since the early nineties.
But, once she started in her family's reality show,
"Braxton Family Values," people were able
to get a better view of the woman behind the magical voice.
But, Toni not only starred in "Braxton Family Values,"
but, also executive produced it
and her sister Tamar's series.
An exciting upcoming venture for Toni will
be executive producing, appearing in,
and writing the music for the Lifetime movie series,
"The Fallen Angel Book Club."
She also just released her first fragrance, "Breathe,"
