| LaToya first touched and awed audiences when she delivered powerful, |
| show-stopping performances û seemingly with ease û on the 2004 season of |
| the hit reality show American Idol. Her talent even managed to silence |
| the razor sharp tongue of none-other than programÆs most infamous judge, |
| Simon Cowell, who went so far as to hail LaToya as the odds-on favorite |
| to win that yearÆs competition. Millions of American voters, along with |
| the showÆs celebrity judges, were dumfounded as LaToya was |
| unceremoniously voted off the show at what seemed the crest of her |
| success. |
| |
| This pitfall proved not to be the end. Besides LaToyaÆs loyal TV-viewing |
| fans, a number of record labels had also fallen under the hypnotic spell |
| of this young ChanteuseÆ. Peak Records, a partnership with Concord |
| Records (the last record label of the late-great Ray Charles), instantly |
| signed LaToya to a recording deal. She is currently putting the final |
| touches on her debut album, a collection of timeless, original R&B and |
| soul classics fused with songs written by LaToya. The CD, which is due |
| on shelves in the summer of 2005, will no doubt establish her as a |
| bonafide American star. |
| |
| LaToya was born in San Francisco, but moved to East Oakland early in her |
| life. There, she was raised in the Allen Temple Baptist Church, singing |
| from the age of four, and graduated from Skyline High School (also home |
| to Tom Hanks). Over the years, LaToya was a member of several choirs, |
| including the Youth Choir at Allen Temple, the Oakland Youth Chorus and |
| Skyline Gospel Choir. |
| |
| The 25-year old chanteuse has spent the last several years perfecting |
| her craft, performing live with her band both in the United States and |
| overseas. She has been blessed to have shared the stage with such |
| superstars as Rachel Farrell, Goapele and the legendary Burt Bacharach. |
| She is also featured on the top-selling "American Idol Season-3 Greatest |
| Soul Hits" CD. |
