TRACI TOTA The revolution in independent sound continues with Traci Tota’s “Chapters”. This forthcoming release represents a collection of sensational artistry which fuses R&B, Dance, Funk, and Smooth Jazz to create a force with contemporary classical style. With “Chapters” Traci’s reverence for the essence of musical forms – and her requirement for freedom of musical control – are manifest.This New York born singer grew up in Queens, NY. At age 11 Traci won first prize singing a cappella in her graduation talent show. It was at that moment that Traci realized her strong desire to sing. Traci's school years were filled with talent shows and performances, including solos in her college Gospel Choir.Musical credits include the vocal lead and co-writing credit to CBS Records dance single entitled “Don’t Let Me Down” and “All of My Heart”. Collaborations between Traci and Willis Wilson who formed Profile Records group AZ ONE proved very successful. Traci co-wrote and sang vocal lead in the group and on the single which was on play lists across the country, the song is still very popular and remembered today. Traci appeared as a guest vocalist on three tracks of the widely received WWIII Recording release entitled “Revelations” by Willis Wilson. The tremendous success of “Revelations” prompted a vigorous touring schedule featuring vocal performances by Traci throughout the tri-state area. It was at the renowned Soul Café where Traci debuted her rendition of “Good Morning Heartache” with solo piano. This performance was the first among many to engage the audience to a rare treat of intimate artistry seldom seen in today’s music.“Chapters” focuses on Traci’s growth, inner peace with herself and her music and the journey throughout the years. Strong vocal performances and powerful lyrics set the tone for a CD that illustrates an artist reaching out to grasp the people and talk about the world we live in today on multiple levels. Traci says “when I worked on the various tracks of Chapters I often felt that it was my duty to relay a message to the people as evident in the singles entitled “Gonna Make A Change”, “Bettah Day”, “Keep it Together”, etc.These songs vividly display my feeling about how we live and the troubles in this world today. We all have the power to make a difference and to make a change. Tragic events have drawn me closer to my artistic abilities Music is my passion, I encourage you to check out “Chapters” expected release date is May 27th, 2022. “Chapters” takes me back and tells a story through the chapters of my life” CONTACT TRACI TOTA Traci@rubyboorecords.com
