Bio

Toni Danielle Everly was born November 05, 1984 in Anderson, South Carolina. She is the youngest out of her two sisters and brothers. When she was five years old her grandmother Barbare Bentley, encouraged her to sing on the church choir. The Choir director acknowledged her great voice quality and began giving her solo parts. Her first solo was, “I say yes, Lord yes.” After her grandmother died in 1992, Toni started writing poetry. When she was in the fourth grade her oldest brother Lamont Bentley died in a car accident. After his death her uncle killed himself and later her grandfather Ashmore Bentley died. These incidents in her life made her realize how short life can be. Her poetry became her way of coping with life experiences. The more she practiced writing the quicker she wrote and her skills improved.
Toni attended T.L. Hanna High school. While she was there she participated in T.L. Hanna gospel assemble, poetry club, Westside High School concert choir, and was accepted in project challenge playhouse special fine arts program. She became an inspiring actress among her fellow classmates, wrote plays, and her senior year she directed her first play production. Toni was also well known in sports. She won the regional championship five times in a row for T.L. Hanna High in track & Field. Her senior year she was awarded the, “M.V.P,” award. After graduation she was awarded several scholarships to other colleges but she decided to attend Tri-County tech in Pendleton, SC to further her education as an English major.
This young 20 year old’s motivation derived from her desire to be the best in all she does. Her motto is, “you can do all things through Christ.” Her music interests are gospel, jazz, r&b, country, reggae, Latino music, hip-hop, rap, and neo-soul. She likes all different brands of music. Toni admires singers such as: Chaka Khan, Janet Jackson, Jill Scott, Musiq soul-child, Alicia Keys and Beyonce’. Her poetic admires are Robert Frost, Langston Hughes, Nikki Giovanni and Maya Angelou.
Toni combines her writings with realistic experiences and fantasies. She isn’t afraid to allow her true feelings to come out within her writings. This is what makes her lyrics so bold. She also has her writings displayed on the internet site www.poetry.com. Toni Everly is a well-involved, compassionate and constantly wanting to learn young lady. She hopes her writings can impact another’s life in a positive way and influence them to be the best and accomplish destined goals.
