Interview with Toni LaShaun
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: My career began over three decades ago with singing, starting as a founding member of an a cappella group during my freshman year of college. This experience sparked my passion for songwriting, a journey that has spanned over twenty-five years.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would be incredibly honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with Tramaine Hawkins; her storytelling abilities, soulful vocal delivery, and raw vocal power are truly inspiring and resonate deeply with me. Similarly, I am also very drawn to the prospect of working with Koryn Hawthorne. Her distinctive vocal tone and innovative approach to the Gospel/Christian music genre represent a refreshing and exciting new perspective, and I believe our combined creative energies could produce something truly special.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I primarily work with Gospel and Christian music genres, but I have experience extending to blues, pop, and even sync music projects.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest vocal skill lies in the dynamic range and versatility of my voice. I can deliver everything from powerful, commanding performances to delicate, nuanced softness.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring a unique blend of soul and power to every song, crafting vocal performances that deeply resonate with listeners. My goal is to guide them through a captivating emotional journey, leaving a lasting impact.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My process begins by carefully listening to the song, paying close attention to the overall feel and any provided guide vocals. This initial listening session helps me to fully understand the song's essence. Following this, I move into the recording phase, where I first capture a foundational scratch vocal to establish a basic performance. From there, I move on to recording 2-3 additional lead vocal options, each offering a slightly different interpretation or approach to allow the producer the most flexibility in achieving the desired sound and performance for the final track.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio is a small but functional bedroom setup. It includes a studio-quality microphone, a noise barrier to minimize unwanted sounds, and a reliable audio interface. I primarily use Studio One for recording vocals, allowing me to capture clean and professional-sounding performances in a comfortable environment.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I am greatly inspired by the powerful vocals and soulful deliveries of Tramaine Hawkins, the gospel queen Yolanda Adams, and the incredibly talented CeCe Winans. Their ability to connect with listeners through their music is truly remarkable, and I strive to emulate their artistry in my own work.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
