Toni Deckers
Singer and Songwriter
I’ve always been drawn to The American Song Book and it’s connection to music’s history. For me it was the jumping off point to my musical journey and heavily influenced my own song writing. Jazz is rich and smooth with warm and clear tones, creating a deep, seductive, and resonating sound. These essentials combined with the youth and vitality of my voice along with my education and training, yield a unique sound and style.
My music comes from a deeply spiritual, emotional place, and drawn from life experiences. When I actually committed to writing original music, it just started flowing. I like to write about the things we all experience and feel. Opening my heart and letting others basically read from the pages of my diary, allows us to feel connected to one other.

Thank You
I'm always amazed at how albums tell their own story with where we are in time. It's heavily based around the theme of water and its cleansing and healing. We are launching this album with four songs, but will be adding more as the story continues to unfold.
Past
For Me, Right Now
I would have never considered writing music and it not been for Rodney's encouragement. He said I had a story to tell and I decided to take the leap. As scary as it was, it opened up a whole new world for me and I'm so grateful he saw my potential.

Shades of Blue
This album holds a special place in my heart. Jazz has always been a big part of my life and I still love singing and gigging from the Great American Songbook. My parents were instrumental in helping me get this album launched and distributed. I couldn't be more grateful.
