As an artist and performer, you’ve either got that special something or you haven’t. It’s indefinable. You can’t put it into words, but you know it when you hear it. Toscha Comeaux is one such artist.
Born in Hartford Connecticut, Toscha’s grounding was in the Church in the tradition of so many great American singers. She was trained at the Greater Hartford Academy of Performing Arts, obtaining a bachelors degree in choral performance. From there she gained a scholarship to the Bethune Cookman College Concert Choral in Daytona and performed with the Connecticut Opera and Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra. A great classical pedigree BUT…her principal love has always been mainstream jazz, soul and R & B. She has shared the stage with such greats as Lou Rawls, the late Ray Charles and Diana Ross but now she is making a mark in her own right with the release of her debut album ‘This Could Be Love’, a collection of knockout brand new songs from a knockout artist.’
