The name nTozake means "she who walks like a lion and comes with her own things" it is my birth name and was given to me by a very special person. It is a name I am trying to live up to each and every day

Yes I am currently on a 9 city tour. I perform with 4-8 dancers and with and without my band. I love it. It's what I've been working so hard for the past couple of years. My special moments is when I arrive in a town and I hear my music being played on the radio it just makes me excited.

I think the internet allows another great method for artist to be heard and seen and gives us the freedom to become more independent.

I would sign only if the contact was fair and good for me and the direction I see myself going.

Bio
nTozake Boston exploded onto the seen at 18 years old, in February 2002 when she performed one of her self penned ballets entitled “Its Allright” at the Super Bowl Exhilaration XXXVI, held in New Orleans, Louisiana.

nTozake captivated the audience with her exotic beauty, lyrical creativity and her unique ability to connect with women while crooning her sensual undertones to all of the males in the audience. She met and eventually signed on with a Chicago based Production/Management team, OSA Productions, who happened to hear her perform at Bally’s Casino in New Orleans. She’s been showcasing her talent all over the city of Chicago and Midwest area setting the stage for the introduction of her debut album
“How I Feel” the world.

nTozake , the eldest of six children, first started singing in the church choir in her hometown of Phoenix, Arizona when she was about 11years old. “I remember feeling really nervous but excited at the same time. “After I finished the song and felt the crowd’s reaction, I knew right then that I wanted to sing for people for the rest of my life. “Music is my world”. She is not only a singer/songwriter but a trained dancer as well. Check out her moves during her “Love and Pain Tour” coming to a city near you or in her upcoming video .

nTozake’s songs are moving and emotionally charged. The emotion people hear in her music, comes from life experiences. “When I sing for other people it’s such a release for me”. “It’s like my therapy. “ If I couldn’t write and sing for people I would just be lost”. “Music is my life”.

nTozake not only wrote the lyrics to the songs on her debut album “How I Feel, she also co-produced some of the “sensual/soul street music” as well.
(nTozake….. “Ta-zok-eee”)
