Biography

Tonéx, TONEX, and now TON3X (pronounced “toe-nay”) was born May 16th in San Diego, California where continues to live and represent the 619.

His often chameleonic image and genre-bending musical style (which he himself has dubbed Nureau) have made him alternately revered and reviled among conservative fans of Gospel music. Nonetheless, he has carved out a niche for himself as a formidable vocalist, and prolific songwriter and record producer. After honing his producing skills with a series of experimental independent recordings, TON3X made his national debut with a re-release of his most successful independent album “Pronounced Toe-Nay. ” His first high-profile television appearance was performing a medley of “Trinity” & “One Good Reason,” blowing the crowd away on the Stellar Awards, which was a coup as TON3X (then Tonéx) was a relative unknown at the time.

A single and music video from Pronounced Toe-Nay were serviced to media outlets for “Personal Jesus”. Upon its release, the album bore 5 different record label logos: Rescue Records, the independent label that originally released the album; MSS Records, TON3X’s then-active vanity imprint label; Tommy Boy Gospel, the label to which TON3X was signed as an artist; Verity Records, the label to which his independent label Rescue Records sold his album’s masters; and Jive Records, the mainstream umbrella over Verity Records.

Two years later, he delivered the musically progressive and pop-leaning album “O2” which got off to a great start with the popularity of the upbeat music video for the single “Bout A Thang” featuring energetic hip-hop dance and an edgy urban image not usually associated with Gospel artists.

    In 2007 MediaTakeOut.com brought you an EXCLUSIVE EXPOSE on the gospel singer Tonex – where we told you he was a homosexual. After that report, Tonex came out with a number of video blogs denying our report. Also a number of mainstream Black and Christian publications ERRONEOUSLY claimed that Tonex was straight. WOW Now, MediaTakeOut.com has been VINDICATED – in an exclusive interview, Grammy Award Winning gospel artist Tonex comes clean about being sexually attracted to men and being gay.
