notes
LaTonya Peoples is not into labels. But she is into love. Not "in love," you understand - but into love. Ask her what themes drive her music, and she answers without hesitation: love. Love, and making people feel good.
So it comes as no surprise that Peoples' first CD, which she produced and recorded completely solo and released last year, was called "Feel the Love." Her second, "The Spirit Within," was a more ambitious offering backed by a full band. A professional violinist as well as vocalist, Peoples alternates heartfelt lyrics with melodious violin composition to produce a sound that, of course, she doesn't like to label. "If I had to describe it, I'd say alternative R&B," she finally relented. "It's not exactly blues, not exactly jazz, not exactly folk...It's a combination of everything."
"Music is something that really makes me feel comfortable," she said. "I want music to help people feel good about themselves, to have an overall sense of worth. And it can do that, whether it's listening to someone else or developing a skill of your own."
"Music is an expression that does not have to use words, a way to communicate with other people," said Peoples, who now practices as a Music Therapist and gives private violin lessons, in addition to performing whenever she can.

Violin Rocks!
author: C.While the vocals are great, it is the violin that I love. "Spying on you" is the best!
This triple threat ( vocalist, violinist, songwriter) has a story to tell.
author: RonThe entire album is impressive. I especially enjoyed, Feel The Love and What Are You Doing. The music is a perfect combination of vocals and instrumentals.
real music from the heart and soul
author: markthis is real heart and soul music, played and sung with passion. anyone should like this feeling, thanks latonya.
This CD is full of warmth and soul. It's great to meditate with. I love it!!
author: AngelThe first 5 seconds of this CD will take your breath away. Rich and powerful vocals are great! This artist really plays music from the inside out. Even though the violin is an "external" instrument. LaTonya makes you feel like the violin is a part of her soul. This is a MUST buy!!
