History Music / TonesAndI

In May 2019, Tones released "Dance Monkey", a song detailing her dissatisfaction with rowdy crowds heckling her as she was busking in Byron that she wrote in a dark closet within half an hour. The song reached number one in 30 countries and since then has been almost inescapable. It ended up being the Grand Prize winner of the 2019 International Songwriting Competition and has also appeared on all manner of international media, including ''Series/{{Batwoman}}'', ''Series/TheTonightShowStarringJimmyFallon'' and the tinny speakers at your local shopping mall.

* MelismaticVocals: A more subdued example, but still an example.

IndiePop SingerSongwriter Toni Watson was born around 1993 (some outlets list her as being born in August 2000 but not only is not true, but outright impossible given the timeline of events) in Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. Although she grew up in a fairly affluent area, she took various jobs doing retail in her teens and early twenties to pay her way forward in the music industry. She started busking in UsefulNotes/{{Melbourne}} before moving to Byron Bay, NSW in 2017 to break into the local scene. It was there she met Jackson Walkden-Brown, who would become her manager, and Konstantin Kersting, who would become her RecordProducer.

* VagueAge: Doesn't like to give out her actual age for whatever reason, most likely due to privacy reasons or to create a sense of mystery. She played with this trope when she did a CoverVersion of Alphaville's "Forever Young", probably alluding to the fact that most of the general public think she's barely twenty years old.

* ACapella: In “Can’t Be Happy All The Time”.

* LoopedLyrics: This bit is repeated throughout the whole of "The Kids Are Coming":
--> ''The kids are comin'
The kids are runnin'
The kids are gunnin'
The kids are comin' ... for you.
