    Talks with Toya! Let's Talk with Clifford Big Bruh

    It’s the 1️⃣ first ARTIST 🎵 of the YEAR! And I got the chance to connect with my new Brother in Christ all the way from Nassau Bahamas 🏝, @cliffordbigbruhriley @cliffordbigbruhriley242 About Clifford Big Bruh: Born in Nassau, Bahamas in 1970, Clifford Riley's love for music blossomed early. Inspired by his mother's records and church experiences, his musical taste evolved from gospel to soul to hip-hop. Influenced by artists like Hall & Oates, The Jackson 5, and Big Daddy Kane, Riley developed a passion for rap and dancing, earning him the nickname "The Bahamian Heavy D." Riley left school and worked various jobs, including at the Sheraton Grand Hotel and as a golf course shuttle driver. He formed the group "Centerfold," which declined a record deal. Riley later joined "Black Juice," opening for acts like Biggie Smalls and Missy Elliott. He also launched his solo career with the song "Situations be like Dat." Riley believes his music can inspire positive change and is now focused on his faith and his independent taxi tour business, "Kingdom Chariot." He aims to serve God and others wholeheartedly. ❤️ Thanks for tuning in!💜 Love y’all!

    Talks with Toya! Let's Talk with Antoine Hilton (Spin Awards Fam)

    This week I connected with another artist that will be ministering at the 2024 @thespinawards THIS WEEKEND, @antoinehilton . Love his entire spirit. Even though he tried to get me and omitted that he is technically Pastor Antoine Hilton (our joke). However, lock in and enjoy the interview and music 🎼. Go STREAM IT TUH-DAY! About Antoine Hilton: Soulful, smooth, eclectic, anointed, prolific and artistic are just a few words to describe a singer/songwriter/musician/producer. Antoine was born and raised in New York and has been singing and creating music from a very young age. Antoine desired to write music that would capture the ears and spirits of young people growing up with negative influences. He believes that music is a vehicle by which one’s perception about life can be altered, conversely, he believes that music is also a giver of life. Music alters moods and atmospheres, and much of the music for this generation has been used to promote agendas that are counterproductive to living a free and abundant life. With that in mind, and with the desire to be a voice that can lead youth to greatness and help them avoid the pitfalls that many fall prey to, he went into the studio to create his first solo album Born Again Into Truth (B.A.I.T) and B.A.I.T 2 which has generated a major buzz and has been galvanizing listeners since its 2011 release. Songs from the album have continued to graced stations from New York to the UK. The success of B.A.I.T has garnered the attention of Antoine’s peers earning him an Agape Award, McDonald’s Gospel Fest award and a Kingdom Choice Award. Antoine has released videos in which he showcased his directing skills and gained a huge following leading to over 200,000 views and counting. Thanks for tuning in! 💜 Love y’all!
