Lisa Toney, one of the new faces of Soca music, born and raised in a small country town in New Hampshire, USA. Lisa always had a strong passion for music, but it wasn’t until 2001 when she traveled to Trinidad and Tobago for carnival that she became inspired to write and produce her own music. Since then music has taken a front seat in her life. From 2001 on, she has been in Trinidad for every carnival season, going to all the fetes, and learning about the music industry.

Her music is a combination of Hip Hop, R&B, Soca, Reggae, and Latin influences. Lisa writes all of her own material. Her current single Wine on me closer produced by Sheldon $hel $hock Benjamin has received tremendous reviews and got her nominated in three categories in the International Soca Awards for 2006.

Toney, a full time registered nurse, residing on Nantucket, Massachusetts continues to keep her musical career a priority. She has just completed two productions, which she plans to release soon. Her first track entitled Out Of My Life, produced by Marlon Roach and Madman Yohan out of Sel Construction sound. The next track entitled What You Do To Me, produced by $hel $hock. Lisa is currently working on production with Shawn Noel out of Mastamind production, and plans on doing a fast soca track by one of Trinidad and Tobago’s top writers.

Lisa and her husband, former Atlantik front line singer Burton Toney have launched their own band on the island of Nantucket, appropriately titled Island Fusion. The band launched July 2006, and since then has opened for Beanie Man, and Lady Saw, and have a busy schedule throughout Nantucket and surrounding areas. The front line includes Lisa, Burton and Lisa’s niece Meghan Trainor. Their goal is to spread their own original material and promote Soca music.
