Toni Duclottni was born in Dallas, TX to a family of 4. She grew up enthralled with anything electronic. Instead of playing with Barbies, she opted to entertain her stuffed animals with rap concerts and theater. Growing up in the inner city brought many challenges. Even though she excelled in her studies and was an all star athlete, it was through her faith as a young Christain that would carry her through a tumultuous four years of high school, she once admitted. At the age of 16 she was employed as an A-2 sound engineer for one of the largest mega churches in Texas with membership towering well over 40,000 members. It was then when she gained interest to pursue the other side of the camera. During that same period, her opportunity to take the stage as an entertainer would arise. Having a natural gift to "freestyle" rap, she would eventually team up with an independent record label to write and collaborate on multiple songs for different albums. The relationship dissolved before she dropped her first solo record. Years later she became an entrepreneur, wife, mother and a divorcée all in a matter of 6 years. Determined, it was her 2nd business venture, a fashion based web production company, that would eventually create an opportunity that would allow her to once again return to the front of the lens. She spent 2 years as an on air entertainment reporter and host for a local CW network in Dallas, TX as well as lead traffic reporter for a semi national morning news show. After a budget related shake up at the news station, she decided the waters were as perfect as ever to make the transition from broadcasting to acting full time. In Summer of 2012, she and her two now school aged boys packed up and headed west to finally fulfill the rest of her dreams in Los Angeles.
