Walnut Creek: Tonya Boyd-Cannon

Many artists chase fame and riches, with short-lived careers forgotten in a hurry. Others create simply for the intrinsic satisfaction they get from sharing their love of music with the world. Tonya Boyd-Cannon falls into the latter category – a Mississippi-born, Louisiana-raised singer-songwriter who radiates unmistakable confidence and passion, and an individual who has truly dedicated her essence to the art form.

Her sound puts vibe front and center instead of confining herself to genre limitations. It’s a distinctive style that draws from her desire to give and heal others through music – ebbing and flowing from the most heart-wrenching ballads, to jazz, funk, rock, gospel, and everything in between. Paired with a delivery that is sharp, inspirational, and contemporary – fans have not only come to expect her unmatched dynamism and artistic versatility, but also her deep-seated authenticity.
