How've
You Been?
When I first reconnected with a man I'd met 27 years earlier while I was singing at his restaurant, I felt like my world had tilted. I knew in my bones that this was for the rest of my life.
Creating
On March 14, 2023, Toni Jannotta, along with Paul Tavenner of Big City Recording, Granada Hills, California, brought together five of L.A.’s top studio musicians to record two of Toni’s original tunes.
The first tune GYPSY GIRL was written in an effort to shine more light on our homeless communities. The second tune, HOW’VE YOU BEEN? is a personal story.
