Tonia

Praised as “one to watch” by Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, Tonia’s slick, soul-stirring single candidly goes through the motions of a friendship breakup – laying bare her anger, confusion and eventual acceptance of the loss of a once-treasured connection.

Embarking on a new chapter, developing the emotional and productional nuances of this latest track Tonia is undoubtedly proving herself as on of 2025 most exciting prospects. Having charmed audiences at Kendal Calling, Dot To Dot Festival, The Cavern Club and on tour supporting NYC’s Say She She, the Liverpudlian songstress has also received extensive playlist support from Spotify, featuring in tastemaking ‘Peach’, ‘New Pop UK’, ‘Our Generation’ and ‘peach’ playlists, as well as Apple Music’s ‘New Music Daily’ and ‘New in Pop’.

Tonia unveils her new single, ‘Cut the Cloth, Didn’t I’, a stirringly soulful track about the slow dismantling and gradual unraveling of a once really close and important relationship. The track is produced by London-based friend and collaborator, Sfven, released Wednesday 19 March 2025.

“It’s about coming to terms with the reality that sometimes relationships in your life naturally end and it’s ok to let them go… Realising that you don’t have to lose parts of yourself for someone else, and understanding that you can’t force things, or people, to stay together.” – Tonia

A rising star sprouting from Liverpool’s bustling music scene, Tonia has confirmed live performance slots at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Liverpool Sound City and more in 2025. Tonia has been building editorial support with previous releases including ‘Harmony’, from the likes of Spotify’s ‘New Pop UK’, ‘Our Generation’ and ‘Peach’ playlists, as well as Apple Music’s ‘New Music Daily’ and ‘New in Pop’. BBC Radio 1, BBC 1xtra and BBC Introducing hosts such as Sian Elari and Jack Saunders have praised Tonia’s songwriting and vocals for their ability to delicately create “moments of sunshine and warmth”, which also charmed audiences at Kendal Calling, Dot To Dot Festival, The Cavern Club and on tour supporting NYC’s Say She She.

Tonia was awarded the PPL Momentum Music Fund in 2024 which ‘supports exciting artists with a growing fanbase and who are working to establish a music industry team’. She also hosts a monthly show on Voices Radio (previously heard on Melodic Distraction)  for young creatives at the early stages of their career.
